In an hour of favor you will answer me. In a day of salvation you help me. You created me and appointed me for covenant with your people. You are the one who put restoration of the land in my heart. You take the the desolate holdings and allot them anew.

Surely every time I hear you is favor. Surely every time I experience you I become more saved (sozo)- healed, delivered and whole. The desires you have placed in me are your wisdom. You make everything beautiful in its time. I am part of that promise. I am in awe over how you have changed the land of my heart.

You say to the prisoners Go Free. You say to those in darkness Show Yourselves. You create pastures for them along the roads, and even on the bare hills.

Your word, Oh God is a light unto my path. Surely every time I come into alignment with your word I become more free. Every time I risk believing your truth I become more light. And along the way, your food for me is timely and appropriate for where I am on my journey. And I stop, and receive, you become rest for my soul.

I shall not hunger or thirst. Hot wind and sun will not strike me. You, who loves me, will lead me. You will guide me to a spring of water.

Thank you for not leaving me in the small definitions of my human existence in these words. Thank you for knowing my intimate details while being mindful of the larger version of me in eternity. You settle my hunger. You slake my thirst. You protect me from the elementals. You are not dismayed by my fear, or shrinking back. You are not stopped by my misinterpretations or cautions or lies. You know my spring. You know that when the joy has come, the weeping of the night will be seen differently.

You will make all your mountains a road. You will build up your highways.

You create the path to perfect me. Intentionally. In love. Yours is the glory Lord. I will follow where you lead me.
