Psalm 31

For your name´s sake, lead me and guide me.

Oh God, it is still hard for me to have a mindset and lifestyle of always thinking about that its all for you. I know it so well! But its in the everyday decisions I fail. Thank you for being gracious with me, wanting to teach me, and not giving up on me...

For your names sake, you´re not giving up on me :)

Psalm 30

This psalm is the psalm of my life.

When I was around 3 years old, I wanted to be like all the grown ups around me. They received words from God, so I put my tiny finger on a random page in the Bible, and then I marked it with a blue star. But I never quite understood the verse, nor did it mean anything to me.


Untill the day I decided to go to church, for the first time in several years. I had lived a life outside Gods salvation and grace for a long time, but now I had finally given my life back into Gods hands. But as I sat in the church, the same rage that I was used to feel against Christians welled up in me again. I just wanted to scream, knock someone down and run out the church door and never come back. I felt sooo stupid for even entering the church, letting people see me inside the building. But at the same time, I knew I could not deny God anymore. I could not fool him. I was responsible for what I knew. So I cried out for God to help me in the war, feeling torn between heaven and hell, once again. Then I was reminded on the verse I received when I was 3. ¨Novah, remember psalm 30 verse 1. What does it say?¨

The storm calmed. I even had to laugh a silent laugh. Moved in gratefulness to God, and excited about the fact that I was on Gods side now, and I could mock the enemy with God. I was never gonna loose sight of God ever again.

I WILL EXALT YOU O LORD
YOU HAVE PULLED ME OUT OF THE GRAVE
AND YOU DID NOT LET THE ENEMIES TRIUMPH OVER ME.

Psalm 29

One whisper from you and all my hard-work -walls collapsed
One word from your mouth and all my illusions they crashed

Psam 28

God, do not accept that I become one of them. I cannot ever loose you. Fight for me, be strict with me, whenever I start treating you without reverence and love.

Psalm 27

One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the
Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the
Lord,
and to inquire in his temple.


YES Lord...that is what I want. That is what I am longing for, to gaze upon your beauty. Being completely captured by what I see in you. Wanting to be more and more like you, in speech, in character, in lifestyle... I always want to be with you. Make me one with you. I want to be your temple. The one you are satisfied to dwell within. Mold me into becoming one.

I am willing.

Psalm 26

Lord, help me walk in integrity
I feel like I used to be much better at it

Now there are new things
coming up to the surface
I know it has been there all along
just that now is the time
for you to deal
with the hidden darkness in me

I want to be pure
I want to be faithful

Teach me to be the woman
you created me to be
a pink warrior
of integrity

Psalm 25

Only you can redeem me
from myself
and my own ways
Help me
when I am proud

I am so confused now
If I saw the whole
picture
or if I only did
what I thought
was right

Help me to again
see
that what is real

I know you will lead
me to truth
for that way
the multitudes
will also see you


Psalm 24

Lord, you are the king
Help me give the world
a glimpse
of what your kingdom
looks like!

Psalm 23

I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.
I shall not want.

Psalm 22

Wow this psalm will forever remind me of Jesus on the cross. I never knew that this was what he was referring to.


Psalm 21

I will sing and praise you, no matter what.

But it seems like, when I do wrong, you're not there. And when I do right, the enemy comes and tries to put me down. And he' s good at it. Please good Father: BE my good father tonight, and give me your peace that goes beyond all understanding. Cause you know

You Know

that I will praise you
no matter what.

Psalm 20

May you grant me my heart's desire.

Give me your heart
to be my desires
and fulfill them
Lord
for the sake of your name
and your love
for me.

Amen.

Psalm 19

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul: the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise simple: the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing in the heart...

But if I did the right thing today father: why does it hurt so bad? I thought you said something. And I was obedient. Despite my own heart. Lord, I am so sad. Overwhelm me with your peace: Cause I know I did what I believe was your will. Help walk as I cry: my eyes are blurred by my own tears.

I do know you will come to my rescue: as so many times before. I do know you don't lie, and that you will bless me for this. You told me so. I rest my case. I want your will.

But it still hurts.

Psalm 18


....With the loyal you show yourself loyal;

with the blameless you show yourself blameless;

with the pure you show yourself pure;

and with the crooked you show yourself perverse.

For you deliver a humble people...

Psalm 17




(My own thougts after reading and meditating on it.)

Lord, I check my heart
over again.
Test me!
Cause I get confused
by their
opinions
about me

I want to be steadfast
knowing your voice
without a doubt
obeying
You

I know I am
the apple of your eye
but they can
still get to me

Hold me and teach me
so I know the way back
even if I loose you
for one dark
moment

Psalm 16


In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures forever more




Forever more...

Psalm 15

O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?

Psalm 14


There is noone
who does
GOOD




CORRUPT!





Psalm 13


It´s dark
And I don´t even care
cause I know it will
hurt
if I do

Hearts are falling
But God, you came

I have your salvation
therefore
I can still rejoice

Psalm 11

Psalm 7



Me: Maria, where did you get your music?
Maria: What are you talking about? I have it here!
Me: Did you buy it?
Maria: Of course! Or I don´t know.
Me: You don´t know if you bought it or not?
Maria: You don´t... Don`t... Why don`t you just mind your own business?!
Me: But God´s gonna judge you for your integrity!
Maria: Just mind your own business, okay? This is not (and then an unknown half-norwegian-Maria-word...)
