thoughts

i want
to be stable
emotionally,
psychologically,
spiritually.

i want be
firmly established,
securely founded
so that
when the storms of life,
the waves of affliction,
the winds of adversity
beat on me,
i will be like a house
founded on a rock.

unmoved,
unbreakable.

he is my rock.
his thoughts--
so far above mine--
are accessible to me
in his word.

oh, Lord,
please help me
to think your thoughts,
to love with your love,
understand by the faith you give.

please,
help me to obey
willingly
and gladly.

thank you.
