Fearing the LORD

Fearing the LORD isn’t about terror, 
But reverence, a deep respect for His holiness. 
In His sovereignty, we find fulfillment, 
Lacking nothing, our hearts anchored in His goodness.

Challenging circumstances may surround us, 
Yet we choose to focus on His grace, 
Expressing gratitude even in the storm, 
For He delivers us from anxiety’s embrace.

His protection encircles us like a fortress, 
A refuge where fear dissipates, 
And in trusting His faithfulness, 
We discover peace that resonates.

Provision abounds in His unwavering love, 
Faithfulness woven into every thread, 
As we take refuge in the arms of the Almighty, 
Our hearts find rest, our souls fed.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
