Meditations on God

The Lord is gracious
beyond my deserving
He leads me through
my troubles
He calms the storms
in my soul
without Him I am lost
in endless want
and insatiable longing
He is my satisfaction
my place of rest

Lord I believe
you have a reason
for this sorrow that fills my heart
this emptiness
that leaves me longing
for your presence
replenish my soul
dear Lord
with your loving grace
comfort me with your
mercy and kindness
free me from the demons
that taunt and torment me
I trust your word
Lord God
that despair is not
my final destination

When I was alone and afraid
Jesus wept
when I was abandoned and betrayed
Jesus wept
when I lost all hope
and wished for the end
Jesus wept
He cried when I cried
He suffered when I suffered
even though I could not see Him
He never left my side
He held me in my pain
Jesus wept
whispering I love you little one
this is not what I wanted for you
I am here
weeping with and for you
come to me

Jesus Christ
Lord and Savior
teacher and friend
stay with us
that we may
never leave your side
pray with us
that we may
hear your words
and be healed by them
pray for us
to the Father
that we may not
lose our way
for without you
we are but lost sheep
in a world of wolves
intent upon ravaging
and consuming us
when we lose sight of you
