He Overwhelms My Soul

Lord,
   I know in my heart that you are always with me, but some days I still feel lonely. You remind me that You are by my side, holding my hand and walking with me as the day goes on. A lot of times I feel Your presence, but some days I do not. Those days are tough. I believe the enemy takes advantage of those times and tries to place it in my head that I am forgotten, not cared about and that I am unimportant.
   You are greater and You always conquer those thoughts through the words You speak to me when I read Your Word, through moments of worship, through people saying things that only You knew I needed to hear and by displaying Your beautiful creation in my eye's view.
   Father, one way I have come to realise how you display Your physical touch and words of affirmation and love for me is through Cori Nicole. I believe you have placed her in my life for several reasons, but I strongly believe that You placed her in my life, because You use her for the time being to fill my longings for You with: hugs, words of encouragement, reminders of how gracious and loving and faithful You are and so much more! How ecstatic I am to one day hug You, hear Your verbal voice and see You face to face. Thank You for blessing me with my best friend. I cannot be more grateful for the love and friendship I have with her. I appreciate that we have a love for You that is beautiful and far more amazing than words can say.
   I cannot thank You enough for all You have done for me. No matter how many times I mess up You are still standing there with arms opened wide, accepting me for who I am and what I've done and saying, "Kelland, I love you despite the mistakes you make. You are My child and there is nothing you can do that would make Me love you less." Knowing this makes life so beautiful!
    Father, my heart's desire is to live a life for You. A life that shines You on others and a life that pleases You. I know I will stumble on this journey, but I also know You will guide me on this path. Speak to me and help me to be more like You in every area of my life. Give me confidence, strength and joy that will allow me to accomplish the tasks You have for me each day. Help me to live one day at a time and to seek You in everything that I do. I ask that my trust in You will be strengthen each day and that I can be patient in waiting on Your timing. Lord, You overwhelm my soul with all that You are and I cannot thank You enough.
   I love You with all of my heart.

♫ I'm found in grace
In love's embrace
My heart is overwhelmed ♫
