In the Comments below please post your Psalm. Remember, your Psalms can be to, for, or about God. You can bring your praise, confession, questions, requests before Him. And the form does not matter much. You can write a letter, song lyrics, a poem, or whatever you would like to bring to Him.
Give ear to my prayers Lord. I call out to you and find I am still left with my head spinning, questioning. I need you Lord. The emptiness within me cannot be filled with earthly contraptions of sin. Eternal hope and salvation is in you. I shall cling to you and never let go. People have lost their way as if searching a desert for water. Claiming a thirst for you, but instead turn to mourning and grief from past mistakes. You hold my hand and lead me to your houses filled to the brim with love and comfort. Without you, Lord, I am restless and with you rest is found.
ReplyDeleteGod. A name of power, and authority. One to look towards and follow. One to worship. The one who's has by his grace, saved us from our sins. What hasn't he done for you? Was has he done for you so that you should turn your back on him and not give him your highest and utmost respect. Shout the Lords name to the heavens and the mountains so others may here his glory and find him too. For he is your God, and he has saved you.
ReplyDeleteGod, in my life, you are extremely under appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYou have blessed me with many things that a lot of kids don't have.
I have great parents that will take me to McDonalds if I'm hungry.
I get 3 meals a day. Lots of kids just get a cup of rice daily.
I have a lot of money, I am able to buy a lot more than most kids my age.
With that, however, I am very sinful.
I am greedy, prideful, cocky, rude, disrespectful, arrogant, among others.
God, why am I blessed with so much?
Why don't I have the urge to give back?
Why do I take all of this for granted?
Why don't I praise you and worship you and pray to you for all that you have given me?
Why?
O Lord, how powerful is your name!
ReplyDeleteYour holiness shines on this darkened world,
and I am blinded
When I sin and when I fall down
You are always there to help me up
Without you I am like a leaf without its branch,
I am nothing
Without you I am like an animal without its water,
I am nothing
I praise your holy name
Hallelujah!
Your love for me is beyond what eyes van see,
You are my my stronghold O God
O Lord I praise you,
for your wonders are beyond my words.
I am blind.
ReplyDeleteOpen my eyes,
Let me see your glory.
I am deaf.
Speak in my ears,
Let me hear your word.
I am mute.
Give me your words,
Let them become one with me.
You have opened my eyes.
Your creation is majestic, like an eagle spreading its wings.
You have spoken in my ears.
Your word is my rock, my protection in times of distress and sorrow.
You have given me words.
Your word is pulsing in my veins.
Now I am alive.
You are my God
ReplyDeleteYou show us mercy
You show us grace
It doesn't make sense
To our human minds
I can't grasp your love
It flows like a constant
Eternal river, O Lord
Like your word says
"His love never ceases"
Your faithful to us
Even when we waver from you
You are constant,
Never changing,
Never failing,
Like your word says
"The Lord is my rock
And my fortress"
You lavish me with gifts
Of prosperity and grace
That I could never earn
You are my comforter
You always welcome us
With open arms to us sinners
We boast and brag
Forgetting your power, our flaws
And the your grace
We so desperately need
You humble us
You provide peace
When the world can be
So overwhelming and chaotic
Your refuge like the eye of a storm
You are my God
Your grace renews me every day
ReplyDeleteI had done sinful evil
Until I met you, my God
When I met you I stopped feeling alone when I was by myself
When I met you I wanted to do good
When I met you I wanted to serve
When I needed you most, I found you
You bury the weight of my sinful failure
You bring me love and hope
Yet you still love me
You look at my dark secrets
Yet you still love me
Why do you love me
I have done evil in your eyes
I am only flesh and bone
Yet you wrote my name
In the book of life
You created me
You knew I would fail
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
By you, my God
And you still love me
When evil comes to me
I can reject it
Because I love me
Because you love me
Because you created me in an amazing way
God, thank you for your abundant blessings you have bestowed on my life. In Your Word You have showed me what restoration looks like by saying He restores my soul. But, without You I am lost and trapped in a lions den, but guide my life the way you guided David to freedom from the lions den. Help me to remember that you are the only way to see freedom from the vicious lions
ReplyDeletePsalm: Praise Lament
ReplyDeleteO Lord,
Give us the desire
to sing your praises
You have been good to us
You have showed us your grace
My sin is great
I am ruined by my sin
because of sinful nature
By the grace of God
I am what I am
and his grace toward me
was not in vain
We are a ruined building
in need of a new builder
Give us strength
Be with us
O Lord
You provide for the needy
Help us all live for you
We love you
O Lord
Let us know you are here
in our presence
Give us the desire
to want to know You
O Lord
Help us all sing praises
to your great name
We love You
Cleanse us from our sins
O Lord
Dear Lord, I feel as though I am a music note.
ReplyDeleteA music note making the melody a depressing and lonely one.
I feel like the note that makes chords minor.
It's difficult to cope.
To cope with these painful chords I know I cause.
I feel I am only a nuisance that ruins what was once a beautiful tune.
Yes I fit certain chords, but never do I feel like I am showing my true sound.
I try to pull back so the others' noise drowns out my plea.
My pleas calling for the Composer of this masterpiece.
I feel as though the Composer is rarely there, conducting His own artwork.
I should know that He made this sad melody for a reason.
A reason to show others the glorious, peaceful ending.
That ending that proves the point being made:
Hard and troubling measures can pull through to begin a sweet end.
I know this Composer exists and is here, it's just so difficult to hear through all of this music.
The music of joy and pain, peacefulness and suffering, acceptance and anger, love and resentment.
So hard to hear, so God, please crescendo in my life.
I need You, because You've helped so many others who have felt misplaced and lost.
Please help me see Your masterpiece through broader terms.
A Psalm of Praise
ReplyDeleteO Lord, my Lord,
Your love is as beautiful as the sun.
You shine so bright,
for you are the holy one.
Every which way I turn,
I see your glorious creations.
When you created the life on Earth,
you used your vast imagination.
When I feel in danger,
you comfort me.
When I am drowning in my sins,
you rescue me.
O Lord, My Lord,
I know I don't deserve this.
You are crowned with glory and honor,
and you know just how to use it.
Your honor is shown in the people,
the people who honor you.
You put glory in my blessings,
for this I know is true.
I should be suffering,
falling deeper into my mistakes.
But you lift me up,
and help me win the battles I just can't take.
O Lord, my Lord,
You are the most high.
You wash away my sins,
and erase all of my distorted lies.
O Lord, my Lord,
I know I should've died.
For I was once dead in all my sin,
but you raised me back to life.
I Lord,Our God,
ReplyDeleteI give thanks to you for the blessings that abound to those who love you. Your
cornucopia of blessings never seem to end. Your blessings flow from your
marvelous creation.
Your steadfast love is never failing through through trials and tribulations. It
surrounds me like a warm coat on a winter day.
Your mercy and grace abound for all of us. Even though we are drowning in our
own sin, you save us and cherish us as your very own.
O Lord, Our God,
How steadfast is your love for us!
ReplyDeletePsalm of lament
Why would you create the earth
Knowing we would sin?
You say you regret creating man,
But you also say you love us over and over again.
"He is loving and good; He does no wrong,"
Is what they always say.
If that is true, why am I heartbroken?
I'm scared of losing my faith little piece by piece.
If heaven is a perfect paradise where there is no sin,
Then why do we live in this suffering place?
Why don't we all go to Heaven?
It doesn't seem quite fair.
People who have never heard of you,
How could they possibly go there?
If God chooses who is saved,
Are men being sent to Hell?
I have people to talk to,
You've given me parents to ask,
But these questions seem to have no answer.
My parent's, my teachers, even some of my friends...
They seem to know you on a personal level.
"How," I ask. "When you talk do you get a response?"
I've never felt or heard you, O God.
I've never spoken in tongues.
I don't have meaningful dreams,
And I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
It's feels as if I'm sending a text
With the recipient left as unknown.
I want to feel you in my heart.
I wish I understood.
I want to love you with all my heart.
I know you are God,
I just wish I didn't question you.
My heart feels heavy,
I'm burdened with love that develops into hurt.
I'm broken hearted by the ones I would give my life for.
I see images of sin that I cannot forget.
Memories flood into my mind as I'm trying to sleep.
I'm reminded of past hurt and sorrow.
I pray for peace with tears flowing down my face
I wake up crying, not knowing why.
You, O Lord, you hear my prayers.
I know you listen to me.
I trust in you with my life in your hands.
Despite of how many puzzle pieces I'm missing,
I know the final picture.
My God, my Abba father, is watching over me.
Jesus is sitting on his throne to the right of God;
I'm praising your name on my knees.
The Holy Spirit is within me.
He dwells inside my heart.
My Abba daddy is forever with me,
And that is what I know
O'Lord
ReplyDeleteO'Lord
For why must we be harassed?
For why are we beaten to their content?
For how must we respect those who harass us?
For we are shackled together,
No way to break free of our bonds.
Why must we?
For the world punishes us every day.
Wearing us away one by one.
Them sucking the life out of us soul by soul.
For we cannot trust them.
For why are we beaten to their content?
For we are wearing away,
A place where only the strongest survive.
But Lord, you are my armor,
You are the blood in our veins,
You are the air we breathe.
You are everything.
You are everywhere.
For why are we harassed?
You keep us safe from those who harass us.
O Lord you are my foothold, You keep me up when I am falling.I always know that you will be there and I can keep coming to you.You are to earth as I am to this Psalm, the author. You wrote the book of life. When I am in times of doubt you bring me back to you and comfort me. Your words comfortme like a cold glass of water on a hot summers day. I can not imagine life without you. I am truly sorrow becaus I have not obeyed all of your commands. I acted like a student without his teacher, reckless and uncontrollable. You keep satan from taking us into his hands. You are our defender. Our king. We try to live on our own but we can not. All of our life we spend trying to be perfect but it is impossible. You are our map and the door to heaven. You decide who comes in. You have saved countless numbers of people, Saul in the New Testament, the criminal wig Jesus on the cross, and even us. FOr I should be in hell for eternity but instead I will be with you in paradise. It is by your good grace that we are even allowed to live.
ReplyDeleteO Lord, you are the shining light I follow when I am lost, the wind that refreshes my scorched face, the guiding green line in the enterprise commercials.
ReplyDeleteWhen I do not have you in my heart I am burning with pride and selfishness, but when I accept you back into my heart I am calm, gentle, and forgiving
O Lord, please never let me forget the abundance of your love, the myriad of chances you bestow upon the sinful and unrighteous
You Lord are forgiving and just, merciful and righteous, you are the creator of every universe, the millennia of stars you know by name, yet you forgive every man, woman, and child and love them all the same. While you are holy and perfect you sent your son and let him take every past sin, present sin, and future sin and die for us
O Lord you are my foothold,
ReplyDeleteYou keep me up when I am falling.I always know that
you will be there and I can keep coming to you.
You are to earth as I am to this Psalm, the author.
You wrote the book of life.
When I am in times of doubt you bring me back to you and comfort me.
Your words comfortme like a cold glass of water on a hot summers day.
I can not imagine life without you.
I am truly sorrow because I have not obeyed all of your commands.
I acted like a student without his teacher, reckless and uncontrollable.
You keep satan from taking us into his hands.
You are our defender.
Our king.
We try to live on our own but we can not.
All of our life we spend trying to be perfect but it is impossible.
You are our map and the door to heaven.
You decide who comes in.
You have saved countless numbers of people, Saul in the New Testament, the criminal wig Jesus on the cross, and even us.
FOr I should be in hell for eternity but instead I will be with you in paradise.
It is by your good grace that we are even allowed to live.
Sometimes I feel alone, even though my shadow is with me
ReplyDeleteO God,
but when I am with my friends or my family, I still feel alone
but my shadow is still the only one with me ,
O Lord God! I'm not sad or upset with my family. Is this how I truly feel, my Lord?
Be my comforter and make me feel better and happy once more.
I sometimes feel sad when I do things wrong
or I don't understand something. My true sadness comes from being betrayed by people that said that they would help me.
Please just be there for me when I feel sad.
Amen
God, you provide me with the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars
ReplyDeleteYou make the Sun rise in the morning, filling me with light each day
You have given me things I do not need; things I do not deserve
Every square inch of the earth contains all the happiness I need; you have given me the Moon
"And this is the promise He made to us - eternal life."
Your presence and love are luminous, shining bright like the Stars in the heavens
You give a star, Your light, to each person, before they even enter the world
But why do you take one's star away?
How will my star still glisten when my brother's turns to dust?
He says he hopes he finds his everlasting star someday
But even the stars we see in the night sky have not shone for years
My aunt's star has been twinkling in the sky for seven years
For seven years, my brother's star has been slowly fading
He needs to see her star
He needs to know she is not really dead, for she is alive in heaven
Her star blazes in the sky, just not on earth anymore
Fill my brother with the brilliance from every star
Let his star reflect the light in him; I know at least the tiniest flame is still there
I pray my star, his star, my aunt's star, and Yours will glitter the night sky together someday
Show him Your light, and make is star sparkle
Let his star gleam next to Your Son’s star, who has gone through the most dim patches, though has the most vivid glow
I pray that His star will share the light
I pray that my brother’s star will radiate with Your glory in the midnight sky forever.
Psalm of Praise:
ReplyDeleteMy Lord, My God!
You have brought me up from the dust!
I sing to you, I praise you,
We all bow down to you!
For you are the creator, and I the creation!
Like a trainer and his students,
you protect and guide me.
My God, My Lord, your always there for me!
You love me as your own child,
In return I praise and worship you!
Though I know you forgive me for my sins,
Oh, I never feel worthy of your love!
My God!
Lord, help me seek a righteous path.
ReplyDeleteMy friends are my enemies,
the people who surround me make me stumble off your path
They choose to ignore your presence.
Lord, help me see the righteous
help me discern wrong from right,
help me walk away from evil.
You are the way, the truth, and the light.
I must seek you when I need refuge from evil.
In times of need, help me find peace in you
Show me true friends
and help me walk away from people who trick me
Dear Lord, thank you for sending your Son down to save me from my sins.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Bible, your map, so I can walk in the way of the Lord.
Thank you for letting me grow up in a Godly environment and for a Godly family.
O Lord,thank you for blessing me with a sister that I love, and a school that I like.
Thank you for the ability to play sports and mostly thank you for the gift of life.
The Lord is my coach, I will not let down.
ReplyDeleteHe teaches me the plays and rules of the game.
He gives me water after I walk off the court after the game.
Even when I go up to shoot the game winning free throws, I will have no fear. He is watching and taking care for me. He is like my shoes, protecting me from breaking my ankles and falling down to the schemes of the Devil.
My coach loves and cares for me. I will live on the bench of the Lord, forever.
The Lord gives what needs to be given,
ReplyDeleteThrough praise or pain.
He has already depicted our tomorrow.
Thankful are we for the plans he has!
Drowning in the ocean, thank God for the water.
Lost away from home, give thanks for the experience.
Quarreling with a friend, we thank Him for the blessing for one.
Teary eyed, be appreciative for the cleansing.
Every breathing moment is planned by God.
Rejoice and be thankful!
ReplyDeleteAm I Called To Be Great?
You said that I was called before I came out my mother's whom.
But am I?
If I was called, how I can't hear you when you call?
If I was put on this earth for a purpose, then what is my purpose?
I pray to, but I don't get an answer.
I try to do everything that Your words says.
But am I called to be great?
Am I called to do what your word says?
How am I suppose to be this good christian, when I don't know if you hear me when I call to you?
I cry to you for forgiveness.
But do you forgive me?
I try to do the right thing.
But am I called to be great?
Am I called to be this big famous superstar, or am I called to be something that I didn't know that I could do?
I pray to give me a sign, but I don't see it.
I wonder if I am called?
I listen to you and I worship you.
But am I called to be great?
God are you real?
ReplyDeleteAre you the real deal?
I hear all these things
These things that they about you
How you aren't real
Or is it Satan
Trying to consume me
To divert me away You
Can You help me oh God, can you help me
I know you are righteous and all powerful
You parted the Red Sea, feed thousands, calmed a storm, heeled the leapords
Gave sight to the blind
But is that true
Was that true or was that a fantasy, or a story
Or a myth?
There is no evidence that you lived
Know evidence that You created the world
But I always go back to this in these times
The Bible
Jesus replied," Truly I tell you if have faith and do not doubt not only can you do what was done to the fog tree, but also you can say to this mountains, go throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done.Mt 21:21
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path
And I will hide its word
In my heart, so I might not sin against
You, I will trust in You
I celebrate in your name for you are like a cloud of grace.
ReplyDeleteYou show me grace and you are always there and you are beautiful.
You love me when I do not love you. When I am furious you can contain me. You are the force that keeps me whole.
You have been there in all the hard times.
You will always be my friend
I do not have to be in the darkness
When I call you are there
When i fail you are there to comfort and direct me.
When I am running towards the cave deep underground, you can change my path to go to the clouds.
You are the one I can talk to, without worry.
When I am crushed in spirit you can rebuild me
You have given us perfect grace through Jesus.
I just do not understand why do you do all this.
Why still bless me with things, when even I think I don't deserve them?
ReplyDeleteWhy to you give so much grace when we sin so much?
I don't understand. Will I ever?
You have given me so much when I haven't given much back to you. There are others starving, but I throw food away. I am so selfish.
Let me be thankful for the things I have and not be desiring more. I always want to be right when I am so mistaken.
When will your love for me shine through the clouds? Help me to know, to understand your word, and your love.
Do not others sinful actions become my own. Keep them from fogging my perspective of right, but also help me to know what is wrong. Give me the strength I need to chase my dreams, and not let pride or jealousy get in my way.
Help me to love the things that I have, but not so much that it is keeping me from you. Let me be near you, but your arms around me and hold me close. Keep me warm and content.
Bring me peace so I am no longer restless in bed, tossing and turning, thinking of all of the what ifs. Bring the sun into my life and let it shine on me, showing me all of the routes that I need to travel. Help me make all of the hard decisions, but also the easy ones. Show me your love.
The Lord is my protector
ReplyDeleteYou watch over me continually
You forgive me time and time again
You forgiveness is unbelievable
Your enduring love is amazing
You love me more than I can imagine
Even when I turn away from you, you still love me
"The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love"
Why do you keep giving me more chances?
I don't deserve your love and forgiveness, yet you still love and forgive me
You sent your perfect son to die so that I can live, and yet I sin against you
I reach out to you and try to touch you, but of course I can't.
ReplyDeleteIt makes my heart heavy in my chest.
I wish you would appear and touch me on the head.
I would be healed, and everything would be as simple as that.
In the quiet I listen but hear nothing but silence.
When I think its you, doubt storms me and I have to make decisions on my own.
I say I am a christian , but I feel anger towards you.
Your ideas don't make any sense, why did you make Adam and Eve if you knew they would sin?
Then say that its our fault we are sinners.
I cannot help what someone else did so why do I need to be grateful to you?
Although I wear my glasses, you are still fuzzy.
Answers are my only comfort, but I think I will find them when I'm older.
Please help me to understand.
Oh Lord!
ReplyDeleteThank you for everything you have provided for me like a great Godley christen school where I am free to worship you freely and for loving friends and family that would do anything to help me if needed. Thank you for putting a shelter over my head at night and though weather and for a food cabinet the is never empty but I see look in there and yell " there's nothing to to eat here" when really it's just nothing you feel like eating. That's something I take for grandit along with everything else I've listed, there are people that wake think " I wonder if I will eat today" and we think " um what should I choose to eat today so many chooses". Lord! Please help me to not take everything for grandit and remind me how blessed I really am and how thankful I should be to have stronge powerful careing God how loves me and died for me.
Lord I have to admit that I put pleasing others before pleasing you. I seek for others to like me, like a new kid searching for friends at a new school, and their feelings towards me consume my thoughts. I try to find comfort in worldly things instead of you. Remind me of your steadfast love. Let me know that you don’t care if I have ten friends or none. My love for others’ thoughts about me is like a desire for gossip, eating at my soul. I quickly lose sight of you, my one true savior.
ReplyDeleteI use you like medicine. If my world seems to be falling apart I will all of a sudden be a “super” Christian, but when things are all going my way I feel like I don’t need you. I try to do everything on my own.
Being a Christian is not high on my priority list. I seek to accomplish desires of the flesh: good grades, loving friends, and sports. But I do not make time for you, O Lord. When I pray I feel like I’m talking to a wall. I can’t tell when I get a response. My worldly desires blind me. Please remind me that you are God and you will never hurt me or forsake me. Even when my friends desert me, ignore me, and make me feel unwanted, you, O Lord, are always there.
My prayer to you, God, is to make me strong and willing to do your will. Help me to not lose sight of you. Make your name known to me for I feel like I’m drowning in an ocean of darkness. My worldly desires are dragging me below the surface. Be my life line in this mess of mine. Be the sun showing through a sky full of clouds. O God, help me through my stress.
At times I wonder if you are even there. Do you care about me? I focus only on the negative portions of my life. I forget how much you have done for me. I have parents who help me through my struggles, siblings who love me, and leaders from church who support me. I have a roof over my head, food to eat and all the necessities. What more do I need than you, O God? Thank you for being faithful to me even when I’m not faithful to you.
There you were Oh God
ReplyDeleteStanding with outstretched arms
Waiting to welcome me with your love and protection
There you were Oh God
Even when I turned and ran from you
But then I came back to you and you opened the door for me
When no one else would
There you were Oh God
Ready for me to take your hand
Waiting to relieve me of my worry
There you were you Oh God
Even when I said that I did not want relief from you
When nothing else could
Here you are Oh God!
And here you will always be
Waiting with outstretched arms
The Father wanting His child to come running to Him once again
God you have shown me how to live
ReplyDeleteGod you have told me what to say
God you have been there on the darkest days
God you have been there on the brightest days
But I don't listen to your knowledge
And I don't live how you want me to
Doors you have opened for me but I don't walk through
Now I have questions about your mercy
Will you take me back
From all the crap I have done
It feels like I am carrying a 1 ton sack
Maybe your word will help me
Matthew 12:7-8
Without you I feel on a sandy dune
I know it will soon blow over
But will it be for better or worse
All I know is God please come soon
A Psalm of Lament
ReplyDeleteGod you don't make it easy
You always make us go through life the hard way
We get mocked, ridiculed, harassed, for following your word
But through you we stand tall
You are our general, leading us through our spiritual battles
You will always win the day
Oh Lord,
ReplyDeleteLord you have blessed me in a myriad of ways. Your greatness has bewildered me beyond amazement. You are my magnet, pulling me toward you even when I pull away. You are my ticket, my one and only ticket to redeem myself after sin. Oh Lord, your ways I do not understand, but still I trust, trust in you. Your gift of Christ was the greatest gift anyone could ask for and more. It was impossible for me to imagine someone so perfect, yet so real. But faith has made it possible. Faith and God are an intertwining string, one that can never be broken. And O, he has blessed me. And yet still manages to confuse me. What a God you are!
o Lord I thank you for the loving people around me and in my life. I also thank you for the things that fuel me, food,sports, friends, music, and the list goes on. But Lord help me to open my eyes and be thankful for Jesus your only son, who died on the cross for my sins.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord,
ReplyDeleteoh thank you Lord,
All I want to do is thank you Lord,
Thank you for an opportunity on this Earth,
Even though i am a sinner,
you still love me even when I forget that you are there,
Because of your awesomeness I am on this Earth to day trying to find a purpose,
To achieve in life,
Hopefully I can say this phrase a thousand times, Thank you for everthing
The sun rises and your mercies flood me. The sun sets and your mercy is still right by my side.
ReplyDeleteLord you are the foundation of my life. Because you're my base, I'm strong through everything. Without you I'm a shriveled up ball but with you I'm mighty and strong.
You're what makes me joyous even when I'm down. You're kind words from the Good book put a smile on my face and a rainbow in my heart.
My road veers to the right and to the left and sometimes goes backwards,but your everlasting love makes me do a u-turn and turns my rocky road into a straight, paved road.
You're so close yet so far away, so you place armies of angels scattered all around me, guarding my physical and spiritual body. I'm renewed because of you. Thank you Lord.
Psalm of Lament
ReplyDeleteOh Lord I am crying out to you. I fell like I'm in a ditch with dirt on top of me trying to climb out, but I fall back down. Sometimes I feel like nobody understands me sure I have friends who like me and care about me and family who loves me, but I feel as if I have to be a different person. They tell me they do care, but Satan tells me otherwise. So Lord please help me I've been hurt so much and I need a friend. You have a been a great friend to me. You have always been there for me, so I pray that you get these feelings out of my soul. Because I love my friends and family. I know you can cause you shown yourself in the past.
Good psalm! It kind of confused me at first, but otherwise, it's not that bad.
ReplyDeleteOh God, where are you?
ReplyDeleteSome days I feel blind
I cannot see you
I call for you, yet my ears don't work
I cannot hear you speak to me
I rummage through my ongoing thoughts
I try to find you through my pile of worries
I feel abandoned
I feel lost
I feel forgotten in this big, big world
That has fallen into the clutches of sin's hands
I am slowly drowning in my ocean of tears
The waters engulf me
I am being torn inside, little by little
Oh God, I know you are there
But my worries seem to drown out your voice
Help me push away those worries
And help me open my eyes
So that I can see you and find you, Oh God
You are the king of everything.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know that because of your,
strength, love, faithfulness, and grace to me.
You pull me out of miserable dark times.
And when I am frightened,
I suddenly feel protected by you.
Our relationship is growing,
And you have opened doors inside me that I never knew existed.
O Lord, O Lord,
The king of everything.
I praise you,
I follow you,
and I can feel you presence surrond me.
You eliminate my pain.
You bless me in numerous ways.
Lord, I want to thank you for everything.
Psalm of Praise
ReplyDeleteO God how worthy is your name
You have made everyone unique no one is the same
Your work is everywhere from the birds,trees, and fish
You created them all with your voice
You are a mighty and powerful Creator
The highest in all
You know my strengths and you know my weaknesses
Through good and bad times
No one can count the blessings you have given
They are as numerous as the stars
You are holy and you are mighty
O God your name is great
A Psalm of Praise.
ReplyDeleteLord,
The earth is an act by you. We praise your name as king and father. Bless my life Lord,
fill me up with your grace. Open my eyes to the presence of you Lord.
Make my eyes and mouth holy with only the love of you God.
Yahweh.
Redeemer.
Father.
I pray that I may live out my life in your path of grace, mercy, and love.
Make me a blessing to others and you God.
Give me humility and courage to openly praise you God.
Bless the people around me in tenderness and love. Lead me to Jesus and the Holy spirit everyday.
Beautiful is your name.
The grief of reality smothers me
ReplyDeleteIt drags me down into despair
It hits me like a brick wall
I fall again and again
Know matter what I fail again and again
I feel completely surrounded by people who don't understand
But you oh Lord come in and comfort me
Your love and mercy overwhelm me
You lift me up and I soar like a majestic bird
You help me overcome my enemies
And I am not alone
Your love is infinite and always there
For you are aways with me
Forever and infinity, before it all began.
ReplyDeleteYour creativity prepares us all for Your glorious future.
You are warm, a light light to all;
Even to those whose eyes are closed.
You are a lily pad that keeps me afloat above the mucky water of the lake.
You wash me pure;
Your grace falls down on me like rain.
Your humility is indescribable;
You prepare for each movement, experience, memory.
Knowing the outcome, You still let me choose!
Your thoughts of me are like gold snowflakes,
Every one is unique and beautiful.
The presence of You is like sunshine,
bringing joy and a sense of safety and security.
O Lord, my words are numbered,
But you know my heart and the praise I have for You.
Psalm of History
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord O my soul
He will make the earth new
The Lord has called the mighty Noah
To build a boat according to his word
He instructs Noah to collect 2 of every animal
God is faithful to his promise to Noah
He tells Noah the earth will flood
In Gods infinite grace noah and his family shall not perish
Our Lord and creator the giver of life saved Noah and his family and all the animals
Praise ye O Lord
He will make the earth new
A Psalm of praise
ReplyDeleteI thank the Lord with songs from my soul, I praise him with a melody from mt heart.
I thank God for his acts of grace and love in my life
He has saved me from evil the minute I cams into this sinful world, the Lord has clothed me with his forgiveness.
When I am in a dark place with no where else to turn, he guides me back to his loving arms.
when my enemies are near or sin has me in its grasp,he comforts me reminds me about what is right.
The Lord is my path to heaven,
even when I try to take another road, his signs point me back to him.
God watches me always, never never leaving me in the shadows of evil or pain. The Lord is my God and I will be saved.
To 125...
ReplyDeletePraise the lord for being able to take our sins away.
THAT IS AWESOME!
Your glorious hands have sculpted each and every person;
ReplyDeleteLike a piece of dull, formless clay.
Lord, O Lord
O Creator
You know my name, my actions.
With so many beings in your nation;
Why care about one so small as me?
Because you love me,
You care for me and all of my problems.
All knowing Jehovah
Praise the name of God almighty.
ReplyDeleteFor he fills me with everything I need.
He always is there for me when I call out to him.
He is my foundation in the typhoon.
He steadies me in the strongest tremor.
He is my comfort when I am dismayed.
I need Him like I need water.
I could not survive without the God I know and love.
Praise the true and living God for he is great and loving to all generations.
He loves me when I fail him and when I fall.
He still loves me even though my sins out number the grains of sand on the seashore.
The Lord loves me and he will never be to busy for me.
Praise the God that is all knowing and all powerful.

Save me O Lord!
ReplyDeleteFor my exhaustion and weariness has taken over,
My body no longer in your hands.
I slip away from the world only to find I come right back.
Barley holding my eyelids up,
I stumble through the halls.
Save me O Lord!
For I have hidden the key to peace,
Yet I can not find it.
Lost somewhere among this burnt out world,
I have the thirst for the one true living God.
You have saved my O Lord!
I called upon you and you have answered.
I have found peace in you,
For you words are flawless among this sinful world,
For I am peaceful and untroubled.
Shout for joy to all the Earth,
For God has saved me!
Oh my gracious God,
ReplyDeleteI exalt your name from the highest building,
For you are mine
And while the world around me burns to ashes,
I stand whole
For my body is filled with the utmost holy
I was once the shapeless clay that lies in the river bed,
But you sculpted for me a purpose and painted me with the traits of Godly man
You made me compassionate and kind
I was made for you, Lord
To the last hair on my brow I am yours
I am merely a single brick among the millions that make up the temple of God
But to you, no more is needed
All you ask for is my dedication in exchange for your righteousness
This is why I praise you, Lord
Despite my imperfections, you love me like a father would his child
And your love is all I need
Praise the LORD, our Father, creator of all things.
ReplyDeleteYou crated the miraculous Heavens above, and the beautiful earth.
You are the one who leads me through rough times.
When I am in trouble, you are there.
LORD, than you for loving us.
Without you, I am nothing, I am the mud that is of bad smell. I am filthy, I am useless.
But with you, I am a beautiful flower in your garden. I love you LORD For you brought your people from Egypt and you have built the temple.
I will continue to speak of you in all that I do.
In the darkest of times, I will not stop loving you. In the darkest of times I will still spread your word.
I will continue to praise you.
Lord,
ReplyDeleteWhy do you ignore me and not answer me.
And make me feel like I'm in prison.
Deliver me before I die.
Because before I die I have to live.
Live out my life the way you wanted me to.
Forgive me of my sins and don't trouble me more.
I just don't want to live this life anymore.
Deliver me from the presence of the devil.
So that I may be with you once again
Praise the LORD, our Father, creator of all things.

He saves the broken hearted,
God is our refuge and our strength.

@ 314
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with that. Some times we feel so small, and think that no one could possibly care for us. But when we think about it God wouldn't have put us on Earth if we had no purpose. So Hallelujah! and Amen.
O Lord, O Lord
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful are the works of your hands
In times of doubt you have raised me up to realize you have a plan for me.
In times of sorrow you have granted me the gift to find happiness in the people around me.
You have given me the gift of life and have blessed me by making me the prospect of your works.
You are the breath I will always take for I breath you in and am renewed with faith.
You are my savior, I put put my trust in your hands and you have lead me to a life of Christ.
@ EVERYONE
ReplyDeleteThis is how you know God is present in this school. Of all of our thoughts that bounce around inside of our skulls these are the ones we decide to post for all of the school to see. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletei liked how you compared the Lord to your water. He is always there for us, and he restores us.
@316 This is beautiful, and really encouraging
ReplyDelete@316 Love this, its very comforting
ReplyDeleteTo 371
ReplyDeletei liked how you had all these examples of what the lord has done for us.
@397 i love this, it shows that god will really help you
ReplyDelete@ 312
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. We all have received so much from God, but we have so little to offer in return. Yet He still loves us and continues to provide for us.
@351 This really shows how God will help you get through anything
ReplyDelete@301 This is deep deeper than a river
ReplyDelete@ 10
ReplyDeleteDeep. WIth all of the things God puts us through we know he has the best intentions
@314 this shows how every person is special
ReplyDeleteTo A-J,
ReplyDeleteI am so amazed by all of the wonderful Psalms I have read. I haven't ever had my mind blown so many times at once! I appreciate your sad songs, joyful tidings, and your confused prayers. They all blessed me so much. I hope you all are and shall be as blessed as I.
Godspeed,

ReplyDeleteYour words came to life for me. I was greatly encouraged when seeing your words. I agree with you strongly with what you are confused about. We will never know until we see him for real one day.
God Bless,
From: 101
@89 Yes! Our Lord is an amazing creator! I loved your words lifting up to God's name!
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, Where are you?
ReplyDeleteI am searching for you, but I am
failing without any luck.
For The Lord is my light at the end of a
dark tunnel, I search for you Lord and
I seek you Lord.
I grope aimlessly as I try to find you and
be with you.
Oh Lord, Who am I?
You lead me as if I was blind folded
You have planned out every step I take
And you are very precise to make sure
That I don't make the wrong move.
You give me a guidline and leave it up to
Me to either follow it or disregard it.
I choose to follow you
I choose to be with you
I choose to love you with all my heart and soul
I choose to worship you
Amen!! That is totally true God truly does have a plan for us It is not for us to figure out what our life plan is because God already gave us a life plan.
ReplyDeleteto 99
ReplyDeleteyours is inspiring and it is asking why did God put you on this earth even though you don't deserve any of it. I liked your pslams
to 9:
ReplyDeleteyour psalm is really nice because it is talking about God and how he lights up the world
@21 This is very comforting to me I think that this can help be know that God will forgive me even though I may make mistakes he will still always be with me
ReplyDelete@11 This really shows that God will lead the way, and if we put our faith in God he will lead me on the right path to faith.
ReplyDelete@2 I this think this reminds me of how we should treat God with ultimate respect and authority over us.He died on the cross for our sins and when we sin against him it hurts him more.So we should try to do what God wants us to do
ReplyDelete@80 This help me remember all the blessing God has given me and I should more thankful. I sometimes become so focused on the little things like appearance when I should show my God given beauty and embrace it. This helps me realize that without the Lord I am lost and filled with sin
ReplyDelete@88 I really like this because even though I may sin and think God will not forgive me, this helps remember that he will always love me and he will know the next sins I will do and forgive me for those because I am one of his children and how could he neglect a child? I really look at the psalm as an inspiration, to help me as a Christian and remember the Lord is my rock and my salvation and he will save me from evil.
ReplyDelete@23
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you. If you truly mean this or did it for the grade, I am there for you. God took the time to make you and sculpt you for a purpose. Just know, that when you're feeling small you have a purpose on Earth and place in the hands of God.
@1
ReplyDeleteGod put us here so that we could make the choice of following him, not so we could just be birthed into perfection. We see sin as a horrible thing that heaven doesn't have within it's premises. And that is what sin does; It shows us that we can never be perfect unless God intervenes and makes it so. After we are sent to Heaven we experience the joy of finally realizing perfection is possible. Our eyes are opened to any possibilities imaginable. Like a child with a new toy, we would be a child of God with a new home in a perfect world.
@ 317
ReplyDeleteGreat Psalm. I can almost picture a rhythm or tune that could turn these lyrics into song. Fantastic job.
@ 99
ReplyDeleteWe are so blessed. God gave us all these things, yet people who have nothing to be thankful for love Him better than we ever think we could. Just start to think about all the little things God gives us and you'll start to see the big things as well. I'm praying for you.
To: 99
ReplyDeleteA lot of people act like this, they don't praise God in the way he wants them to. Good job speaking up like that
To 23,
ReplyDeleteYour psalm truly spoke to me. I love music and your speaking within music terms was phenomenal! Please keep writing psalms because other people need to hear your "sad melody." It's so beautiful!

to 89: That was awesome. Great wording. It flowed beautifully.
ReplyDeleteto 89: that was as good as peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteto 89: I like peanut butter so that was a compliment in case you were confused. Sorry if you don't like peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteto 99: I admire how much you appriciate God and how you want to give back. All of us take things for granted. We are sinners.
