After reading 5 and 6 I have come to a have a new excitement about poetry in general. There seems to be a partner to David's psalms that I had never caught before. I feel like he makes his requests and declares his faith at the beginning. Then draws back on what he has learned about God's character in order to have a stronger basis of where is faith is at. Then realizing his authority and the truth of the situation he has brought before the Lord he starts to see his part in the whole thing. He repents and declares his unworthiness and accepts the extension of grace; therefore, finishing with a declaration of renewed confidence in who God is and how faithful he is to answer us and save us from our own miserable circumstances.
So in response to this new thought process I have decided to write a poem.
Lord your hand seems to have left me
moved from my life
as I stumble to walk
to crawl
to hold my head up
Deliver me, O Lord, from my own confusion,
your authority and knowledge
be my guide,
my desire
to be lead by your insight
your wisdom
to see this world through your eyes
The agony of those in torment around the world
those that are weeping
struggling to survive
if they could see
see your glory
your undeserved presence
your extension of grace to unworthy vessels
O Lord, let your hand lead me
as you move back and forth around this world
where ever your spirit may call,
I desire to be found faithful,
ready to serve.
