Depths of God

In realms where reason falters, truth is found,
Not by the mind alone, but Spirit-bound.
The natural eye, though sharp, cannot perceive,
The depths of God, where wisdom we receive.

Through Holy Spirit, light and truth are shown,
In whispered guidance, mysteries are known.
Human intellect, though vast, falls short,
Of grasping plans that God alone has wrought.

Seek daily, then, the Spirit’s gentle lead,
In every choice, in every word and deed.
Let Scripture’s light illuminate your way,
And in its truths, find strength for every day.

United by the Spirit, hearts align,
In Christ’s own mind, our thoughts and actions shine.
Reflect on Him, in every trial and test,
And emulate His love, His life, His best.

True wisdom, gift of grace, not earned by might,
Through Spirit’s work, our understanding’s light.
In faith’s community, let unity be found,
Encouraging each soul where love abounds.
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.
