Damned in the desert

I used to be damned in those desert valleys!... and now I thank U for those droughts!... I even used to curse the walls around me!... and now I see U Lord God!... U had it figured out for me!... it all was working for my good!... if only I had known back then!... what I know right now!... nothing is wasted in yur suspension U didn’t forsake me!... Lord God!... U elevated me!... from my bottom to the top!... what was horrible!... U turned into beyond belief!... Lord God!... there’s beauty in yur ashes!... there’s peace in the storm!... for U wrapped me in yur loving arms for the start and the finish of my day!... my eyes are stayed on U for it’s the words of yur promises that will guide my feet!... for U Lord God!... head me toward my good!... I can see it now!... and only if I knew back then!... what I know right now!... nothing is wasted in yur hand!... I’m bowed here on my knees!... I’m here every chance I can!... thanking U!... praising U!... giving U glory!... U didn’t forsake me!... and I know U never will!... I was caught up in ugly!... stung by loving bees!...  took my time!... had my focus!... until I was stung again!... and I still trust U Lord God!... when I don’t understand!... I still lift my hand and worship U!... even in the middle of my storm!... when I thought I lost my mind!... the twirl and spin!... strung with the ugly words!... and bites refused to let go!... U show up!... right on time!... U put the good life in front of me!... U carried me through the valley!... to reach the other side!... here I stand for they tried to take my joy!... Lord God!... I didn’t know if I would survive!... I gave up so many times Lord God!... I cried!... I wondered why!... but U kept my heart alive!...  when loved ones came to die!... U didn’t leave my side!...  Yes U did!... U never left me!... U never forsake me!... U loved me when no one else would!... no limits!...  so there were restraints!... I praised U through the end!... I praised U through the night!... Lord my God!... take my heart!... do as U please!... I know it will all work out for my good!... wheew!...  

It’s through my rain!... my reckoning!... and knowing U Christ my King!... U’re at the table!... by the Grace of my God!... and by His love!... who is my Lord and my Savior!... I thank U for what U are doing in my life!... and about to do!... like Paul said!... when I’m weak!... U my God!... U’re strong!... I ask that U give me strength to carry on!... and forevermore!... until we can gather again!... I trust that U will go before us and take us to the next level!... in the Most Powerful!... Matchless name of Christ Jesus!... for this I pray!...

Forever and ever Amen!...
