The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise

Psalm 51:17

Holy, Holy, Holy are You. Mercy art thou to my heart.

you are the rock unmovable!
you are the anchor for my soul!


We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 6:19-20

I can't hold onto "a prayer" .. but I can hold onto the Man to whom I'm talking to. 

Beautiful is He that wants to knock on my door

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." Rev. 3:20

Reinhold Niebuhr

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

You've already gone ahead. My fire by night, You're my cloud by day.

Your love is the rock that I cling to.
Your name is the tower that I run into.
Your strength is what lifts my head when it's bowed low.
Your sun is the light that shines through my window.

And like the sun after all of the rain is gone,
The morning without any cloud comes.
With a picture of Your love.
And when I think of the stars so high over me,
The moon in the darkness lets everyone see
A picture of Your love.

After the rain has fallen,
          ...the sweetest name remains on my soul.
After the rain has fallen, after the clouds all roll away,
              ...the sweetest name remains on my soul.

Cause You're faithful, You're always the same.
Your faithful, no You never change.
Your faithful, You're always good. always good.

Though I walk through the valley of shadow of death,
I have no doubt, You've already gone ahead.
My fire by night, You're my cloud by day.
Though ten thousand fall to my right and my left,
under the shadow of the Most High, I find rest.
My fire by night, You're my cloud by day.

penetrate my heart, mind, and soul with who You are and who I am to You.

Allow my heart to know Your authority in defining me.
Allow my heart, mind, and soul to receive the beauty of You circulated within me.
Pour Your oil of fragrance on my heart, mind, and soul til I drop and let go of what the world have been saying about me.. and who I believed myself to be.
