Psalms 119

92: If your teachings had

not made me happy,

then I would have died

in my misery. 93: I will

never forget your guiding

principles because you

gave me a new life

through them.

Chains

I'm trapped behind the doors

of my mind, surrounded by th-

oughts which have left me

confined. Time is passing

rapidly without escape. I'm

locked in chains like I'm an

enemy of the state.

At first, I thought this was

just a stage - then all of

a sudden, i was lost in the

maze. My way out? I see

no trace, I just circle within

the same phase.

If only I could see my way

clear. But, my vision is

clouded by the fear, causing

me to spiral deeper into the

abyss. I'm hoping this tale

has a twist.

I wish this season would

expire. The tyres of my soul

are on fire. I can no longer

move - I'm choking on the

fumes of despair, waiting

for an answered prayer.

Verse of the poem:

2 Timothy 1

7: For God has not given

us a spirit of fear, but of

power and of love and of

a sound mind.

Heavily Burdened

Every day i climb the same

mountain. Lord, allow me to rec-

ognise your never-ending mercy

which endures like a fountain.

I long to be sustained in righteous-

ness. But by far, I always miss the 

mark. It's like a task I can never 

accomplish.

When You said “it was finished,”

on the Cross, through repentance,

our sins were extinguished,

and we entered a new

beginning.

Don't allow us to be defined by

our flaws nor conditioned by

our inhibitions. Refine us each

day; so we can reflect Christ in

everything we do. 

Verse of the poem:

‭Psalms 121

1: I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help?

2: My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3: He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep.

4: Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.

5: The Lord is your guardian. The Lord is the shade over your right hand.

6: The sun will not beat down on you during the day, nor will the moon at

night.

7: The Lord guards you from every evil. He guards your life.

8: The Lord guards you as you come and go, now and forever.
