Misguided
July 14, 2015
When did this happen?
I decided to put myself on Your throne,
Thinking I’ve got this figured out on my own.
However, I find myself drowning in this ocean,
When You have given me power to walk on water.
I serve Your Kingdom out of obligation,
Forgetting this privilege given out of love and grace.
Taking from my own cup tastes bland and diminishes every second,
I need Your water that gives life and life abundantly.
How foolish I have been to the schemes of the Enemy,
Blindsided by his tricks and distractions.
Lord, remove the blinders, realign my mind,
And reset my heart.
I have been tricked to think life is like walking through fields
of flowers where everything is dandy,
But I need my Shepherd to guide me through this battlefield.
Your Word says the enemy is waiting for someone to devour,
Lord, I’m afraid he has been gnawing on me for a few weeks.
The only way to be healed and restored is
from Your touch and Your breath back in my lungs.
Captivate my attention and my heart.
Here I am to shake off the dust from the mistakes,
To repent from my disobedience,
To humble myself because it is Your Throne I’ve been living on.
Bind my wandering heart to Your altar,
There will be no chance to abandon it.
May my heart be in a posture of surrender,
You have forever redeemed me and I am found as Your beloved.
May my pleas of prayer become songs of praise,
For You have reached down
to rescue Your child from this ocean I’m sinking in,
Faithful Father, always,
Mighty Savior, You are.
