Unfortunately now, it is hard to trust in God all the time.

Dear God,
ReplyDeleteWhen I felt broken you fixed me
and when I felt alone you gave me comfort
When everything seems wrong

The oceans of the earth aren't near as great or beautiful as your love
And yet I constantly sin against you, your mercy and love never fail
You are amazing and I love you
Love, your sinful admirer

When I am with them I feel safe like when a sheep is gaurded by his shepherd. I thankyou for this school, it is like a temple full of knowledge. LORD I thankyou for my brother I feel he would do anything to protect me, he is like my gaurdian angel. And last oh God i thankyou for sending your own son to save us all from sin. Jesus is like super man he saved the world.

ReplyDeleteThe first two phrases really pulled me into your story, at first I was confused. Why would you put that in a Psalm? As I read on, I realized your point.

ReplyDeletePeople don't realize how lucky we are. Many kids would love to just have McDonald's as one meal. We have parents who love us enough to send us to a Christian School, provide food for us. But yet we think so little of it. I find myself also burdened with my sin. Why does God choose us over some other person who is just as deserving? Only because God loves us so much.
To 122,
ReplyDeleteYour Psalm sounded as if it were poetry. Amazing adjectives! I loved yours! Telling how this world drags us down but we are never alone, God always helps us back up and you communicated that beautifully! Well done.
