You give me

grace and the space to step out of the noise and into the light

You give me clarity when I am stuck and in a corner of doubt, and the ability to get out is not something I can do alone.

So there you are, always helping me out and pushing me back in the right direction.

So when the right words just aren’t coming out, I want to say I pause and call to you every time.

But I don’t, but when it’s piled up so high I can’t see the mess beyond, I call to you and then the words come to me.

I know I should call out before things get bad and sometimes I do, but I am only human and sometimes I forget to do what’s best for me first.

Just know you ‘re always on my mind and I feel I’m getting better at reaching out to you for the pieces of me that are good is because of you Lord.

Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).

I Lift my hands up to you my lord as I praise you for all you have done for me, I want to thank you for the voice I found in me after all these years.

I want to reach out and know that one day I will get to hand your hand more than just a second but a life time.

I am here and so are you, you’re always with me through the thick and thin and I know that this year will be my year because of you and you alone.

Daily Prompt: Praise

Praise the word only brought one man to my mind my lord.

To praise him is to wake up everyday and breathe another breath of fresh air.

To be thankful that he got me through the day and I learned something new or he blessed me with something I didn’t even know I needed.

To praise him is the best thing I have ever done.

To write the words I write everyday and night is because of him.

He sparked my talent to write and my love to write and I couldn’t be more thankful.

He knows my heart and who I truly am and understands me when no one else does and that’s the reason I praise and love him.

For he loves me and yet I didn’t know him at first and to praise him now feels like a long-lost friend who was and is always around.

Today is a good day to praise him and for that I am blessed.
