Psalm 142 Trouble

I reveal my thoughts to You Lord, my attitude is revealed through my behaviors and words.

You are my catharsis of dissatisfaction; I reveal my troubled emotions of anguish and stress to You.

My reality is overwhelmed right now, You know my motivations. My attitude and behaviors have enabled my life to be trapped by my feelings.

I know the strength of You as my resource of power and direction, no one else can respect my call but You; it is You who called me in the first place; You care for my identity, in You there is no loss.

In anguish I cried to You Lord: You are my security, my shelter, and my portion of confidence.

Acknowledge my pain: I feel abused, depressed, and overwhelmed; there are those who establish their might of politics against me.

Enable my reality to see the truth of Your definite and conspicuous position, mark of individuality, and honorable character: Your righteousness embraces me; You honor me Lord.

Psalm 105 Responsibility

I will give worship and praise to You Lord with every power, means and direction of my life; I will reveal Your definite and conspicuous position within my spirit, mark of individuality within my soul, and honorable character within my attitude and behaviors: I will let it be known that Your effectiveness is solid in my life.

I tell You my issues and You direct me where to study in Your Word; I wait for Your accomplishments to take place within my rational being.

The transparency that takes place within my spirit, soul, attitudes, and behaviors is obvious: it enables my intellect, willful nature, and emotional well being to strive for Your acceptance.

I pursue Your acceptance Lord, it is security to me: I seek Your acceptance, favor, and presence continually.

I am ever mindful of the distinguished accomplishments that You have performed and maintained within my life; Your work is ever before my memory, I love Your Word and my study in it.

Your Word is the fertility that feeds my intellect, it is the servant to the motivation of the builders of the family name; Your Word supersedes all other words.

You are the Lord my God: Your divine Word makes the confidence of mankind complete.

I am marked to be recognized as one of Your chosen; my behaviors, counsel, and purpose was taught by You for the esteem of others.

This position was given because of the choices made by our forefathers and their bonding to You as a nation, but this position has been forgotten and a laughing stock.

Your Word was established to supersede any law and given to the church as an everlasting covenant:

Given as a challenge for commitment for self-control, but that commitment has been forgotten also. This has ruined our inheritance for our children.

As mature adults we are held accountable; but immaturely we continue to remain afraid of living up to this commitment.

As a nation, we have wandered from one ideology to another; consulting this theology or that doctrine from anyone making a noise.

It is Your mercy that has protected us from any oppression, fraud, and destruction: it is You Lord who decides and justifies the counsel for Your people in this nation.

We do not strike without provocation Your anointed; we will not harm or punish those who call You Lord. We are to protect them.

Also, there is a yearning within our rational being for Your confidence: through this idea of counsel You birthed a nation of believers and a system for success.

We rejected the idea of social injustice, but accepted the idea of duty toward our fellowman.

It is You who gives our nation of believers the ability to endure the humiliation during this depressing time: the only thing working is affliction and stubbornness of the government.

You are our counsel and provision: Your purpose and reason processed righteousness to me and those who chose to listen.

Your counsel matured and released me to do the work that must be done; even to those who try to control opinions through peer-pressure will fail because of Your truth within our thinking.

Your call of leadership as a builder of the family name is obvious, through You we become dominant and out-spoken for righteousness sake.

You have prepared me as Your steward even when I did not serve You; I was to learn as well as teach these attitudes and behaviors to individuals who wanted a refreshing walk in Your presence.

Organized religion is already in bondage to ideology; fear supersedes the confidence that was once a main stay, the exposure of truth about religiosity causes anger and insecurity among these members.

For the most part, Your people matured in spite of these acts of hatred within the secular boundaries; and will decide to be responsible when duty calls.

We will change our irresponsible hatred to responsible order as Your servants of justice.

This change enables Your servants to rescue a people of secularism and give wisdom to the teachers whom You have chosen to lead them.

Reveal to all believers the counsel, purpose, and direction for this nation: our miracle of liberty is in Your Will and the confidence You have given us.

You have directed our ignorance before now; we as a nation did not resist. We did not allow bitterness to be held against any foreign power.

Your direction changes a restless self-image into a still peace; all anxiety, fear, and hatred was destroyed by Your presence within us.

It is Your confidence that brings any anxiety into counsel for complete health to a society that asks.

Your Word heals the depraved, and the co-dependents need for manipulation.

It gives conviction for guidance, blessing for encouragement, trials for maturity, and enlightenment for confidence.

Wounds of maturity enable flexibility and contempt is replaced by strength; it is strength that gives boundaries for our self-control and self-protection.

Your Word continues to be our nourishment, without it we are devastated and held into a debtors account of ideology.

Without Your Word all maturity, confidence and the growth of reassurances are void.

All principles of understanding and the establishment of our ability is vanity.

We as Your people must proceed with faith and without fear: there is not one among us who is inadequate nor indecisive about Your responsibility toward liberty.

Stress and transparency is normal during the maturation process: the fear of not being accepted is also a carnal trait.

Our Lord dispenses His provision for guidance in our defense; passion is given for illumination of those who are called to duty.

Because we ask: the Lord will give us tranquility, security, and nurturing; this enlightenment satisfies our nation.

It is the Lord who birthed this nation with His strength; His national image emerges as we prosper and grow during hard trials, but the understanding of it is priceless.

We are a nation of God's people; we are marked to be recognized as a consecrated counsel and established as His servants.

It is the Lord who matures His people; it is a joy to be a part of His accepted chosen. We are a part of a great triumph:

it is His confidence above the arrogance of ideology: the perverseness of man made conceit brings worry and the travail within our society.

It is our duty to choose God's ordinances for obedience, protection, and maintenance through His Word for our service.

Psalm 42 Troubled Times

Even the spiritually mature must have Your support system within their identity if they want or need rejuvenation. My identity longs for Your support system.

My identity needs You God, You are the living God: when will I stand in Your righteous presence.

Grief has been the main emotion of this new beginning and the adversity that comes with it. There are people who ask; where is your favor with God?

I try to remember but my identity is emotionally vacant: I tried to conform to the peer pressure of the believers; with joy and praise we celebrate Your love with feasting and dancing.

Why then does my identity remain depressed? Why do I remain anxious and troubled? Trust in God, I say to myself; praise Him for your health, salvation, and accepted presence in your life.

My God, my self-esteem is strained and miserable: I remember to trust You for my confidence that I had when I was dying to my natural man. My pride was full of petty ideologies.

Discernment speaks to discernment when my identity is exposed to Your support system: role models for the brokenhearted and those who are in travail are two examples of Your radiant identity, they overwhelm me.

Yet You Lord constitute Your loving-kindness with each new beginning or growth stage and the adversity it brings. Your poetic composition nurtures me; my prayer is to You, who is my vitality.

You are my stability God, are You ignoring me? I am grief stricken and heartbroken over this stress of these acts of hatred within the carnal nature of mankind.

This hatred is a crushing instrument killing my strength, these acts exposes my stress; I am mocked daily by the question: where is your favor with God?

My identity is depressed, Why? Why do I continue to feel this anxiety? I counsel myself to trust God: So I praise You Lord, You are the health to my endurance, the reason for my purpose, and the gateway to my acceptance of this situation.
