Thankfulness

Pour our your heart like water in the presence of the Lord.
Lamentations 2:19

God is good.

Lord,

Hear my cry. I am pouring out my heart to you, hold my heart gently. Help me cling to you with my whole heart, with everything I have. Help me to trust you to be my everything.

Give me the strength to keep going even when I can't see what is in front of me. Be my hope. Come for me.

Speak to the deepest corners of my heart, answer the deepest prayers of my heart that I don't even know are there - for you know me better than myself.

Be my provider, my protector, my defender. Be my salvation. I am lost and hopeless without you.

Thank you Lord for where you have brought me. Thank you for not just your provision, but your intense intimacy in my life, the intricacy that you have woven my life together. Thank you for bringing me to where I am now. Thank you for a place that Tim and I can call home. Thank you for Tim's job. Thank you for our relationship. Thank you for grace and forgiveness.

Yet, it isn't enough to just thank you for your grace, forgiveness, and provision. I am drowning in it! I am overwhelmed by it! It is too big for me, to lofty for me to attain. Your grace and glory are beautifully overwhelming.

May my life be beautiful to you Lord.

"When all of the sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory. And I realize just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me" (How He loves by David Crowder)

"Could the Maker of the stars hear the sound of my breaking heart?... If You're everything You say You are, won't You come close and hold my heart?" (Hold my heart by tenth avenue north)
