Guard my words and guard my steps, Lord; I tend to ramble when afraid. Guide Your words to broken ears; I tend to expect them to be painful when I'm trembling. My stubborn mind can be made up so hastily; especially in desperate times. The healing of Your love it so desires- "Lord please don't let me fall before I'm lifted." When I enter Your House, may it be in anticipation of listening- of listening- without giving- without trying- without relating- without judging. When thoughts are abundant- Lord, please hold my tongue. When words creep to the surface with a pounding heart, I must not have paid attention.
Amen.
Oh friend, have you lived in my head?? I've felt this before this desperation of heart, of desiring Him and doing right so badly but not trusting myself and knowing i i was just one heartbeat, just one wrong spoken thought, just one mistep away from completely messing everything up... but didn't have the words to put it in!! Gosh I love reading your writings. :)
