What Is Your Will In Christ?

How is it my Lord that I can triumph and be at peace when the world rages? How is it that in the face of all things that come against me I can have confidence and peace? In the story of my life, I've suffered traumas in the past that have left their mark on my heart and changed me forever. I've committed failures in my life that have brought pain to myself and to others I love most around me. I've seen my house lay in ruins in the aftermath of a fire that consumed many things that I had struggled to build. I looked upon years of restoration and the endless labor of my days smolder in the ruins. I've seen some of the deepest love of my heart, my love for the children of my children, be shredded and trampled in the dirt by pure evil as it took them away rending my heart to the deepest levels of pain. I've watched to see part of the greatest prize of my heart, struggle helplessly against a demon that he had no power over as it thrashed his life without mercy. I'v...

Lord God above the highest stars, you alone are the architect and creator of all that exists Time came to be at your command and by your direction all that you have made is ordered by it At the sound of your holy voice, that which was not came into existence and remains by your will The mere shadow of your glory gives light to the sun at your whim and all that lives is sustained There is nothing that exists but by your choosing to allow it, for none can contend your power None can defy you, but in your patience, you gave choice to men to worship, or die by their disbelief Great and unending is your mercy to those who seek it true of heart, respecting your omnipotence The mysteries and the complexity of your work challenges the minds of men from all generations Yet the greatest of your offerings to men is the simplest in its' pure nature, the love of your heart What can be said of you Lord God, that is equal to your greatness? You have not yet created the words Yaweh, as m...

Father… I am created from the dust If there be any good in me … If there be any beauty in me … It is not credit to me … For it was spawned by the very breath of life breathed into me by my Holy Creator … That which is Holy in me is your goodness and your beauty … Which exists by the presence of your very breath

Dear Papa God, There are some things that I need to say to you. I know that you know them, but I need for you to hear them from me... Father, I am like a child fearful and afraid of that which moves in the darkness of this life to bring me harm until I hear your voice and feel the touch of your hand. It's then that I know that I am not alone. Only then do I feel safe and comforted for my Father's near. My heart yearns for yours Father. I am left inconsolable, incomplete, and lacking without your presence. I am not to be satisfied by anything but your presence with me for nothing else can fill the void in my heart. I hunger for the meat of your wisdom and the sweetness of your mercy. I am helpless to feed myself my Lord. But I am fed by your love and your grace and you are faithful to sustain me. My spirit thirsts in the desert of this barren world and I would wither away to death. But when I think I may perish, you shower me with the living waters of your Holy Spirit to b...

With my countenance bowed low before you, my heart declares the truth by your word, that before all time, you existed my Lord. Before the earth, the sun and the moon were created and hung in the expanse of the universe, you alone were God and you created them all with a plan to give life to men that you could call friend At the mere sound of your voice, the mountains rose from the depths of the earth for men to see towering above the land as monuments declaring your majesty. They rise high above that which you alone have created that men might know your power to create them and give praise to their God. You gathered the seas from the corners of the earth and you alone command their boundaries. Your hand hung the stars above them to give guidance to those that you would bring to travel over their depths. In all things, you give men guidance with the choice to follow. It was your voice alone that brought all things to be in your creation and it is by your voice that all things are held i...
