The Verses in my Head...

The last week has been full of thoughts and prayers rolling around in my head, and at the same time, absolutely nothing to share. Not that I do not have things to share, cause there are a lot of different and unexpected things I could drone on about, some exciting, some weird, some frustrating, and some just aggravating.. but at this point it would just be noise (for your eyes).

So instead, I leave you with a few verses... These verses together are explaining the thoughts in my head as of late.

"How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?"  - Ps. 13:1-2a

"Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.  

I said to the LORD, 'You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.'” - Ps. 16:1-2

" Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.
 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

You will make known to me the path of life..." -Ps. 16:9-11a

"I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;

Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech." - Ps. 17:6

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer." - Ps 19:14

"To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
 O my God, in You I trust..." - Ps. 25:1-2a

"Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD." - Ps. 27:14

Sustain Me..

Today is shaping up to be just one of those days..

"I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me." - Psalm 3:5

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation. And sustain me with a willing spirit." - Psalm 51:12

"By You I have been sustained from my birth;You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You." - Psalm 71:6

"Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;And do not let me be ashamed of my hope." - Psalm 119:116

Three Thousand Words...

"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
         And He brought them out of their distresses.
    He caused the storm to be still,
         So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
    Then they were glad because they were quiet,
         So He guided them to their desired haven."

Psalm 107:28-30

"Let the mountains bring peace to the people,
         And the hills, in righteousness."

Psalm 72:3

        "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
         The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
    What is man that You take thought of him,
         And the son of man that You care for him?"

Psalm 8:3-4

Create in Me a Clean Heart

I'm not sure why, but this song came out of nowhere and suddenly I heard it over
and over in my head today.. My mom and dad used to sing it all the time around
the house when I was growing up.. Not to mention we had these Cassette tapes
and later Cd's :)

"Create in me a Clean Heart, Oh God, And Renew a Right Spirit within me.
Create in me a Clean Heart, Oh God, And Renew a Right Spirit within me.

Cast me not away from Thy Presence, Oh Lord.
And Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the Joy of Thy Salvation,
And Renew a Right Spirit within me." - Keith Green

"Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me." -Psalm 51:10
