Personal Psalm writing

O, Lord, for everything that exists, both living and non-living, as far as it stretches across the billions of stars, It is all a proclamation of Your boundless power.

The unknown depths of the ocean, the nature of water and every creature, the roar of thunder, and the way mountains stand firmly on the ground are all testaments to Your power.

By watching the rising and setting of the sun, the seasons change. I stand a witness to your strength

Your voice of victory is heard in the whistling of the winds as they sweep across the planet.

 

Just like every living being bows to Your will, rivers flow where You direct them, and trees grow everywhere else but in the deserts, all as per Your will,

My anxiety and doubts are eliminated at the sound of Your name

In empty space, you hold galaxies in place (Summers and Trefil, 2017), a testament to your mighty

In the same way, You hold me firm when I face trouble

 

In hopelessness and despair, Your presence gave me comfort and reassurance

When my mind is filled with doubt and worry, You assure me of Your Goodness

When my heart was scared and afraid, You were my shield

I face many battles in life, but You have sustained me always.

 

O Lord my God, like the firm mountains you created, you are my unshakable foundation

I know that I will face many storms in life, but grant me strength to stay strong and overcome each one

This far I have come has been Your grace; thus, I trust in You, for You never fail me

With You, I will always find it in me to overcome.
