I am here again. At Your feet, I have come with what is left. The blood-stained pieces of what used to be whole and healed. I have come again with the plague of my sickness. I know you will take it. You will restore. You will shroud in love and deliver me. I am not deserving but I am here anyway. I do not have anywhere else to go. I do not know anyone else with as much patience and mercy. Your compassions fail not. Your steadfast love never ceases. Your mercy is new in the morning. New every morning.
I am back with a heavy heart and tired feet. My journey has been long and far. I have been travelling in the opposite direction and I am weary of spirit. I have wandered from You and I am lost. Lost in my thoughts, in my imaginings, lost in my prayers. I am lost and cut off from what gives peace and hope and life. I am not now, what I was meant to be. I even have fear.
But You have not favoured me with fear. Fear displaces faith. Love dispels fear. You have given me a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. The sound mind drove me here. To my knees, to worship, to praise... You inhabit the praises of your people. So You are welcome here. I have a need and Your grace is sufficient for it. I am in my dark hour and You will rescue me.
I have come and You were always here. I have come and You have kept me. You have preserved what is precious to You. I am here and I am broken. I am here and You are willing; I will be healed. You call me by name. You see Your Son, His scars, water and blood poured out. You remember Your promise made for generations and I find comfort.
I am here and You are God. Forever.
