THE GUIDE
I need God to move like he’s never moved before. Lord, open up that Holy Ghost door (Luke 11:9, John 10:1). Set me aside from the weights of sin (Hebrews 12:1). Let my strength in you begin (and end). Lord, I’ve tried and struggled for a while. Sometimes I think you’ve forgotten that I’m your child.
Although I saw plenty headed my way. It did not stop and it was hard for me to stay. Fear came and I lost my joy. Every now and then, I felt like I was being played with like a toy. Your word was strong and deep within my soul. But there were some things I did not want to behold. On to you and let go of a lot that followed me. All this and more I continue to see…
But Lord, who has the power? Who knows my name? Who holds the key to both open and close doors—even when there’s shame? To let be bound on Earth, to bind in Heaven. And let be loosed on Earth, to loose in Heaven (Matthew 16:19, Matthew 18:18).
Only a forgotten soul would not know that he is worth more than them all. Only one without the true home would not know that he is never alone. Only one that never knew peace would not know that there is no void; if God, all powerful, handles the sword (word of God rightfully dividing, 2 Timothy 2:15). Only he that rises early in the morning and never knows the way; would not know that you are the guide unto which I pray.
