Open our eyes Lord that we may see how far we've drifted from Your will.

Father forgive us, for:

* we have questioned Your Word and Your will, and called it "intellect".

* we have aimlessly attended church, and called it "worship".

* we have kept silent when others boldly went against Your will, and called it "tolerance".

* we have polluted our lips with profanity, and called it "freedom of speech".

* we have exposed and wrongly embellished YOUR TEMPLE, and called it "fashion".

* we have accepted unholy or profane music and called it "diversity".

* we have tried to juggle being of this world and being spiritual Christians, and called it "versatility".

* we have blindly requested things from You, and called it "prayer".

* we have repeatedly praised ourselves instead of giving YOU the credit, and called it "self-esteem" or "confidence".

* we have been sexually immoral, and called it "human nature".

* we have ignored You, doubted You, cursed You, disobeyed You, and STILL we call it "Love".

Hear our cry oh Lord and forgive us, for we know what we have done.

Guide us as we return... to the BASICS OF LIFE.

[If I had only a few minutes to write You my own psalm of praise, it would sound something like this...]

You have blessed me SO tremendously and so to You, I give my everything.

You have loved me so completely and so to You, I give my heart.

Oh how great it is to have Someone to cast my burdens on.

Bless the LORD oh my soul, for He has been good!

He has been my Portion, my Provider, my Shelter, my ROCK, my source of Joy and of Strength.

He has guarded my soul from the path that leads to DEATH.

He has guided my steps and carefully watched each one so there was never a time when I stumbled and didn't have a Very Present Help in time of need.

He has been my "Always there on time" guy and my "Turn water into wine" guy.

My Rescuer as well as my Redeemer.

I smile at the future because

He IS my Guide...

my Light...

my Advocate...

my Hope...

In HIM will I trust & in Him I will REST

For He is more than enough and the only source of abundance.

The only source of abundant...

Joy,

Peace,

Hope,

Comfort,

Love...

LIFE.

It is because of Him I can say "MY CUP RUNNETH OVER!."     :)

Jesus... YOU are all I need.
