Lord,
I have prayed as never before.
I trust You'll answer me.
The things I ask for, I deserve.
What could the roadblock be?
You've searched my soul, I come up short
Of walking in the light.
In fact, You find me lacking,
Full of wrong instead of right.
I need to look at my life,
Gossip shared and grudges held,
To clear the way for You to do
The work You do so well.

The spiritual search is not the search for God but the search inside myself to find what is keeping God at arms's length. I ask for forgiveness when I won't forgive others, etc. I need to clean my own spiritual house.
Welcome!
I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.
