The Prompt: Rewrite a psalm from your point of view.
I chose Ps. 143, which is dubbed "An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance." There was no particular reason for choosing it. I was flipping through the book and thought this topic would be relatable for me to write about.
Dear Lord, I cry to You right now.
You are the God of wisdom and truth.
You control when the sun rises and sets.
You are holy; none compare to You.
I beg you right now to help me.
I am struggling within myself.
I know the right thing to do
But my human nature hinders me.
I know I am not worthy of Your mercy
But I need it, O Lord.
Please have mercy on my soul.
Grant me your guidance; show me Your ways.
Give me patience to endure this burden
You seemed fit to place on me.
Help me to learn what You want me to from this experience.
I am humbled at Your power
And feel thankful for the grace You have already given me.
I know I do not deserve it, yet You give it freely.
Thank You, God. May my lips sing Your praises
High into the heavens.
I like this. =)
