A Psalmist's Heart

Oh Precious Lord.

How truly marvelous you are.
I cannot even fathom the heights and depths of your love!
And the amount of love for you that I have
is only a fraction of what you bestow.
How I wish I could match the vastness of your love--
yet by nature it is truly matchless.

All I can offer is my life.
I pray that you break the hold I have on myself,
more and more with each coming day.
Fill me with the life only you can supply!

Calm my restless spirit.
Allow me to be content with where you have me.
Mold my desire for the grandiose and glorious into a humble patience,
seeking first to honor you... to be an extension of
your heart- your hands- your overwhelming grace.
Open my eyes to the lost and the hurting.
Blind me to the trivial pursuits of this world.

Continue your good work in me
as is your promise.

Amen.
