Faith mind fight

Words cannot fashion me,

They cannot mold me,

Nor form me,

Wishes cannot change me.

There are ways I may go forward,

May improve,

But the hollowness in me,

That is doubt,

That feels void of the spirit.. that

Is the emptiness I feel.

Where are you Lord?

I cannot be fashioned by your word

To be the person I think you want me to be

I just can not.

Broken

Sinful

Stubborn 

Willful

Whatever you may call it,

I cannot

but feel empty

And live daily with the awareness of how much I lack.

Set me on the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake.

Lord, it’s been about me

For a long time,

Feeling trapped by my humanness,

My failings ,

Perceptions.

There is an emptiness growing,

Blackness,

Fear,

Creeping death.

Is it right

To beg for your spirit

To hunger and thirst 

For more of you

Is it selfish to want more of you

So I can be less of me?

Set me on the path of righteousness for your names sake.

For your names sake.

What does that mean?

Maybe it is not for me

to burn with life and passion.

But can I be content to be

just a carrier of light,

if only,

just a flicker.

The path of righteousness.

Jesus.

Hands holding light,

Not me,

But you.

Lord.

Set me on the path of righteousness

For your names sake.

I do crave that Lord,

For doubts to shrink under your light

For my own heart to zing with your life

For my hands to carry

The flame,

spark of your spirit. 

Jesus,

Set me on the path of righteousness for your names sake.

Right….it’s not about me.

Psalm 23:3

“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”

“He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.”

“He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, brining honour to his name.”
