From 6/29/11 PM

I'm in a small boat that is anchored to you, my Lord my God.
When I draw near to you, my tether is secure and taut.
When I don't put the effort in our relationship, im drifting and tossed about by the wind and storms.

And I'm not alone. You are with me.

Can I picture myself calm and resolute to trust in my God when the storms come, even the small quick ones that come from a unfortelled direction?

In my boat with God of the heavens and earth watching and protecting me. Filtering everything that comes to me through Him first.

Thank you Lord.

Even when my feelings betray the reality of Your assurances, I will choose to trust in You.

Even if I have to do it day by day and some day minute by minute.

Psalm 2 - Angry and Frustrated, Help me!

Oh Lord, I'm drowning in anger and frustration.
Any sound and out of controlness that comes from my son
sends me into the stratosphere. O Lord. Help me.
Forgive me for my short temper and unrealistic expectations.

There is a tightness in my chest. I'm being pressed from the craziness around me and also from the pressures I feel on myself.
After I get angry, I'm sorrowful and then start spiraling into depression.
Lord, I will not forget that you have taken care of me and my family in the past.
I'm being held in your hand, but I feel like I'm falling off a cliff.

I hate these days, I'm sorry. I should live every day for your glory and wonder.
It is a gift to live this life. And I fear I've squandered already so much of it.

Psalm 1

Yeh God! I love you. You rock.
