The Peace of My Puzzle

by Christoph J.

There is a "peace" to my puzzle that I'm missing...I'm incomplete!

So I retreat to that quiet place where God and I used to meet

Because my faith has been tested and I need to pray.
There's no way to get around it so I seek His face.

I close my eyes and I visualize me at His feet,
Bowed down and as humble as I could ever be.

I repent of my sins to make sure my slate is clean.
I know He's the bread of life, but I feel like my plate is clean.

I need directions to where I'm going before I stray too far.
Its been a while since the last time I prayed to God

I've backslid to a point where I'm filled with guilt
So I need to strengthen the bond that He and I have built

"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil!" Now I am free to take a breath.

"He lovingly leads me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul", along with His sons and daughters.

"He annoints my head with oil. My cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me," So, I go where He goes

I will take shelter in arms whenever there's bad weather
"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" and ever

AMEN!!!
