I
love to spend quiet time with You.
You
are my closest friend.
I
share with You my innermost thoughts,
And
with You, I never pretend.
I
am always open and honest with You,
For
You perceive what I’m going through.
You
are near and ready to minister me,
If
I give all my burdens to You.
When
I feel I’m on a merry-go-round,
My
world spinning out of control.
You
hear my cries as I call to You.
Your
Spirit flows and soothes my soul.
You
remind me You’re walking beside me,
During
the times I’m tossed and blown.
You
admonish me “walk by faith not sight”,
For
You’re with me ~ I’m never alone.
Because
I’m one of Your children,
And
You’re my Father whom I wish to obey.
I’ll
remember Your promise You give me.
You
won't forsake or cast me away.
When
life's problems come my way,
My
response will glorify You.
I
will be joyful and give You praise,
No
matter what I have to go through.
After
spending this quiet time with You,
Just
the two of us together.
I
can then go out and face the world,
For
there's nothing "we" can't weather.
