The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

-Psalm 28:7

God there are so many times that I feel like

 I have too many obstacles to contend with

 and they seem to be never ending.

  All I can do is rely on the words

you have spoken to my heart

 about the good work you have begun in me.

Have mercy on me Lord.

 Ease the bitterness of discouragement.

  The hope of what you have begun burns inside me,

 a consuming fire Lord.

 To the point that it makes my heart feel sick.

Remind me Lord that it is the chasing after you,

 your voice,

 your heart

 and your good pleasure

 that is ultimately

the best part of any vision

 you have put within me.

Remind me that my life belongs to you;

 however you choose to navigate it.

And Lord, help me to not look simply to outside circumstances

 to reveal my progress in life in terms of this vision.

Remind me that this life is going

according to your plan

I yield my ways to you.
