Psalm 80

I don´t really have anything to say. I don´t know what it means when it says “let your face shine”

psalm 79

Deliver me

and forgive me my sins

Be gracious,

for all my sinning

comes from

from wounds

yet to be healed


Right?

psalm 78

God, I have no right to test you

I have no right to fight you

yet you love when I´m real

and do


You´re the holy King

but you´re also my dad


It´s just confusing sometimes


Psalm 77

I remember all you did for me. How you pulled me out if the dark pit. Saved me. Loved on me when I was still in denial.

You are awesome.

psalm 76

I love you


psalm 75

You´re the perfect judge

I don´t have to be afraid

You know what you´re doing


Psalm 74

“You made the oceans part

for the sake of who you are

And you have stolen my heart

by one glimpse of who you are”


Psalm 73

I may desire a lot of things

but they only cause more greed

What I truly want

is hidden by the noise

of my own fallen flesh


But I know it is you

that my soul longs for


You, and you alone


psalm 72

I don´t ever

ever

ever

want to forget

your heart

and passion

for the poor

Psalm 71

Do not be far from me

I need you

I need to feel your heart pounding

in my heart

so that I know I belong to you

and then know who I am


I want to love you so deeply

that doing my own will

is never even a temptation


Lead me on your path

for I want to be beneficial

for your kingdom

Psalm 70

You are my deliverer.

Deliver me

from my own selfishness

I don´t know how to make the

first step

today.


I´m so tired.

Psalm 69

“O God you know my folly,

the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you”



I´m on my way to a place where nothing is hidden

I´m on my way to a place where nothing is dark

Psalm 68

“Father of orphans and protector of widows.”

But how easily we forget

cause it feels better

to remember

that you could bless us

You are so good

that we forget that people are wounded

we are so focused on praying to receive our 5 cars

that we forget that our neighbor´s husband just died.


- Bullshit.



God.

Make us see what you see.

We´re no good ambassadors for your kingdom

today.

But may we be,

tomorrow.


Psalm 67

So...You didn´t give me my talents

for only me to have a good time with it

it´s a vessel for you to voice yourself

to the nations.


I am more than willing. So... make me ready

disciple me

so I am firmly established

knowing my identity in you

that stumbling is not even an option.


Amen


Psalm 66

Oh yeah, fo sho!

I´ll make a joyful noise,

and all the world will hear it baby,

Knowing who is God!

Psalm 65

Thank you

from the depth of my core

for forgiving me

always

Psalm 64

I want to be righteous

Forever

Psalm 63

Praise you as long as I live...

That´s my aim

to fall deeper in love with you

become so in awe

that I will lose more and more

of my own crap

to glorify you

through all you created me to be


I don´t want to be afraid of loosing you

but often I am

I´m still suffering from

other´s opinions about you

It´s like a bruce

that won´t go away


Why did he say those things?

He who is

so dedicated to you,

but with such a false

impression of your face


And I´m too scared to let it go

just in case he was right


but it leads me nowhere

cause only when I´m in love

and not in an unhealthy fear

will I be able to stand in awe

and do what you require of me.


Psalm 62

Psalm 62


When all falls apart,

if my house burns to the ground

when my friends are gone

if I experience war


what am I left with?


God, I want the core of my being to be You


so filled with you

that everything can be taken from me

and I will not experience loss

Cause you are

all I need
