With You, I’m never upstream without one. You provide me direction and by Your guidance, I can steer around any obstacle. Should I have gone the wrong way, I can turn around and repent. After my time with You, I see how far I’ve come and I’m not dismayed. Constantly abiding with You creates in me a clean heart, not one that is the product of this place. You enable me to keep moving beyond the pitfall, beyond the trap, to destinations that bless and strengthen my soul. I need You. If I am a boat, You are my Paddle, my Anchor, my Sail.  Isaiah 43:19
 
There are so many paths to be taken in this life, but Yours is the one I want to follow. Some people claim to be following You, but when you walk with them, you witness that the path they tread leads somewhere else entirely. You warn them, but they do not listen. You go as far as you can with them, then the hurt that their path causes becomes too great. Your call, oh Lord, echoes across the land, but they do not hear it. Your Path does not dance. Your Path holds its course. We who follow become shaped by it. We are to submit ourselves to Your direction. Lead on my Lord, lead on.  Psalm 25
 
You are my Peace. You cannot be shaken. You cannot be lost. Shame and regret attempt to toss the boat. They try to drown You out. The winds of my mistakes are mighty, the effects of my disobedience are astounding, but Your peace pursues me beyond their reach. They don’t love me and their strength fails to convict. But You do love me. The peace You give is not founded on favorable circumstance- here today, gone tomorrow. Your peace is founded on You, and Your favor is eternal. Your peace outlasts the storm, whenever it comes. Because of You, I will not be shaken. Philippians 4:6-7
 
You are very great, oh God, in glory and Power and majesty amen. We always have limits to how we understand You. To what should we compare with Your unmatchable power? Lightning? Earthquakes? Volcanoes? Babies? All of these are trifles when compared to You. Light and darkness hold a key, but here light loses its strength. Darkness merely waits for the inevitable and then overwhelms what comfort was had. With You, the Eternal One, there is no fade. You do not lose strength. Your power knows no limits as You move when and where You want. Psalm 71:18
 
You take my signal, my voice, and amplify it to accomplish Your will, Your purpose for me. My voice is too weak, hardly a whisper. You lift me out of the pit of self-destruction and place me on the heights. When I seek to boost my own signal, I end up with horrible feedback and damage listening ears. You balance my voice with others and make us into a choir singing in harmony for Your glory. With You, we are one sound, unified and strong. The enemy puts damaged chords among us. They weaken our signal, but You, my faithful Preamp, take us in stride as we are and make it enough.  2 Chronicles 5:13
 
You surpass all others, mighty God. There is no one equal to You, not even close. Yet somehow our desires ring louder. Somehow it makes more sense for us to obey our will over Yours. How do we rise above our mortal bounds? In our foolishness, it is by our existence we claim our authority to be greater. “Because I exist, I can” is ever and always less than Your preexisting state of “I am”. You are Preeminent, oh Lord. You were here before the world began, before time was born, and You will be after all is ended.  Colossians 1:15-20
 
You are my Provider, my Lord. You take care of my every need for You know them before I do. Not only for me but for my entire household. You set me to overflow that I may, in turn, help others. You are good to me, my Lord. I look to You and am not cast out nor forgotten. I am very needy and exhaust myself with my many requests, but You are so patient with me. In Your wisdom, You hold back that which I am not ready for. Blessings would turn to curses if not received in due season. Only You know when that time is. You are my Provider. May I live in constant thankfulness.  Genesis 22:13-14
