Lord? Are you there?
Where are you today Lord?
I look around at your creation, I see the sky with its height so great
only You know it, I see the ocean with its vast depths that only You know its
true measurements, I hear the bird’s song so unique that only You can
understand and recognize it, I see You at work in creation but Lord where are
you in my life? At my address, in my
home are you here? Do you see my
worries, my concerns, my struggles, my frustrations, my questions? Why have you chosen to keep me here? What is my purpose at this moment and what
part does my life have to do with Your creation? If I did not exist would it make a difference
in Your ending? Are You pleased when You
look down at our home address and see the acts that we are engaged in or do You
turn away in disappointment? Lord, where
are you today? Why can’t I hear Your
voice leading me or feel Your hand guide me?
I am sure to get lost or lose my way if You do not guide me. I cannot afford to make any more mistakes, do
You not see that? I have messed up too
many times and I am fearful that the grace You have so graciously extended to
me is quickly running out. Can You not
just come sit with me for a while Lord?
I need to know from You what You want me to do? My purpose is so cloudy and need to see
clearly what part I play in Your masterpiece.
I do not want to fail You. I do
not want You to regret creating me. I do
not want to disobey You. I do not want to miss You at work.
Lord, where are You wanting my family to go? Are we even on the right path? If not, what is our fate? Have You given up on us? Are we out of second chances? If not, will You show us clearly the way
which we are to go? Will You make known to
us Your word that says, “I will instruct
you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My
eye upon you.” Gracious God, my family cannot
move another step without Your
direction. God, we are waiting on You,
we are looking for You, we are listening for Your voice, we are ready, we are
standing with out-stretched arms. Take
our hand and lead us.
