I’m reaching for greater!...

My Lord and Savior!... I’m here with joy and the peek of the new day!...the joy where I was pulled from slumber with the image of death from my troubled midnight!... I’m on bending knees!... my head bowed!... to give U glory!... thanking U for all the wonderful things U do for me!...and about to do for me!...when the steps of my past!...carried me to doom!...I was buried into shame!... my steps today lead to tomorrow!... they’re the steps of a new life!... with promise and purpose!... I’m trusting and believing in my living God!...who rules the heavens and earth!...I’m so glad!...in the midst of my waiting U taught me how to soar!...Lord God!...I run with a faithful God!... U showed me what grace looks like!...everyday of my life!... U give me sweet tender mercies!... with favor!...to champion as I go throughout my day!...yur plan for me!...with yur guiding hand!...who could stop me!... if U’re with me!...my every praise will be for U!... every hallelujah is for U Lord God!...U’re the Lord of my journey through storm and rain!...through the valleys and my victories!...when disturbances are beyond my control!... when darkness shades my day!... U’re my deliverer!...my healer!...Lord God!...for I know!... it may not look good!...but it works for my good!...U strengthen me when I’ve been weaken!... when I thirst!... U fill my cup!...when I feel along!...I trust U!...U hold me!... with the cares of my fragile heart!...and I take one more step!...knowing U won’t forget!... U’re God almighty!... and it all works according to yur plan!...U encouraged me!...U made me strong!...U held my hand and said yes I can!...my situations and tribulations!... U took the shackles off!…and shine the light of the world over me!…U placed me in refreshing waters when I thirst!…my weakness and my inadequacies teamed with powerless and  despair!... but I knew to lean on U Lord God!...I went from confused to clarity!...tribulation to triumph!... the weakness in my life!...to strength in Jesus!...leaving necessity to abundance!... Lord God!... U blessed me with more than enough!...I put my trust U Lord God!... doubt wanted to wash me out!...my oppressors had me locked with the chain of my desire!... when I thought I could not deal with the toils of life anymore!...I knew my faith was being tested!... U held me close!... and open every door!...U told me that I would live through it!...this would not be the end for me!...Lord God!...tears of joy and happiness ran down my face!...and at that time I understood yur grace!...had me embrace!...yur unmerited grace!...even when feeling void!...or dead and broken hearted!...I was torn into tears!...and broken apart!... Lord God!...I put my hope in U!...believing my faith is the only way!...Lord God!...I’m reaching for greater!... I speak greater over me!...for greater works are in U!... I put my trust in yur perfect will!...

Lord God!...may U bless me!...keep me!...may yur face shine on me!...I’m so gracious!...keep yur counsel turned toward me and give me peace!...bless me when I lie down and when I rise up!...let family and friends be allowed to face any encounter that may rise against them!...I rest!...I ruled!...and abide in the most holy name Jesus Christ!...

Amen
