Soul Park

We move though life at such
a brisk pace, our minds full and
overcrowded.

Oftern I become far too absorbed
in this fast passing world.
I panic, become prideful
forget God is there and am too
self reliant to remmember him.

That is when I walk.
Away from traffice, crowds
of people, and calendars.

As I strolling though a park free from
the bustle my mind becomes clear
again, as many worries drop away.
I leave them behind, then pray .

Doing this, I am lost in
admiration of Gods' creation.
I thank him for the breeze, plants,
sky, animals, and the variety of
people that I pass by.

Speaking with God, I hand my
burdens over to him, because he is
far more capable of dealing with them
then I. My father embraces
me like the brezee for he is willing
to come to my aid.

For whatever the troubles of this world
God is forever by my side.
In sending his son as a sacrifice the bond
was reformed between God and humanity.

So now there is no curtain, no more
barrier of sin but freedom in Christ
whose sacifice makes prayer possible.
All I need to do is humble myself,
acknowleage this great privalge
and that sin runs though me, humble myself
and pray to my loving compassionate father.
He is not only ready but forever willing
to lend an ear and to listen as I reflect.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will
say it again: Rejoice! Let your
gentleness be evident to all that
the Lord is near. Do not be anxious
about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests
to God. And the peace of God,
which transends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus."

Worth Mentioning

Sometimes I feel sorry for God.
He hears not just to my thoughts
and he listens not just to my prayers.
He tunes into even the childish whining
and ideal thoughts that no one really
wants to hear.

It must be like listening to a family member,
you know, that person in your life that calls
you up and talks to you on the phone for ages.
After which you look at it and marvel at how
long that call was.

The truly mindbogglingly thing about our
heavenly father is that he is, (believe it or not),
delights in hearing from us,
taking the time to listen to us.
Every time we want to chat.

Our God is not only worth mentioning,
He is worth mentioning things to.
