My Psalm

I wrote this the night that I found out I had gotten accepted into the DTS Program with YWAM. I couldn't sleep because I was so excited and so, deeply, in love with the doors God could open in my life. For awhile now I have been praying to have a passionate love for God like David did, you can see in all his Psalms how honest, and truly in love with God he was - it's beautiful and when I noticed it I thought "I want that kind of passion for Christ" so I started praying for it, and the day came when I understood how David must have felt.

It came pouring out of me with so much intensity I couldn't stop the inexplicable joy that came from getting a tiny glimpse of just how big my God is. You see there is no way that I should have been accepted. The class was full, I had been put on a wait list, and yet even though no one cancelled out of the class I was accepted in through prayer. I knew that this was the journey God wanted me on and I glimpsed the opening of closed doors that God is capable of.

Then unsure of what to do with all the emotions pouring out of me I wrote them down. In counselling I learned the power and love of journaling and so that's just what I did. Here are the results.

I really debated on whether or not to share this since it was such and intimate moment with God but if David can be bold enough to share his innermost love of God, than so can I. I pray that this psalm speaks to someone, as these words are not mine, but are from God. I pray that the love I have for the Lord will burst out through this psalm, and I pray that you are able to see that love for God and God's love of us is not an old testament notion, but a living, breathing, daily relationship with Him.

So this is my Psalm to God:


Oh wonderful God, how great it is to serve you
how amazing you are, oh God.
My Abba, my Father.
You are my rock and my foundation on which I stand
I stand before you in awe of your power and might.
Overwhelmed with your joy and your faithfulness
I fall to my knees in praise,
hands lifted high I sing of your holiness

So loved am I by you my dear God
you call me your precious child
and make a straight path for my feet.

How faithful, oh God, you are.
How glorious and wonderful is your name.
You open doors that should be shut
and lead me down the path few follow
You lead me where I am supposed to be
and pure inexplicable joy comes from being in your will,
From following your path

I am honored to praise your name.
I am unworthy to be called your servant
and yet you reach out to me, my dearest Abba
and you call me your beloved child

How hard it is to fathom your love, my God
Such a sinner am I
and you have plans for each of my days, hours, and seconds.
You make no mistakes, oh God
and I am humbled by your mighty love
and your inexplicable forgiveness.

The joy of the Lord is mine
when you lead my path, precious Father.
All glory and honor to you, oh God
my heart and my path is forever yours.
I boast only in the love of you my Father, oh God
Amen.
