Psalm of Thanksgiving

I know the Lord can hear my thoughts.
I'm thankful that I know His voice.
The Lord has shown me what real love is.
When the world claimed to have the solution for my aching and broken heart.
My life was more like death;
Wrapped up in the world and running from God.
Shame led to guilt.
Guilt led to sin and acceptance of immorality.
The "Father of Lies" tricked me and played shadow games with my heart and body.
But you, Oh Lord! Have never failed me.
Your word remains true and everlasting.
And you have always been faithful.
Thank you for helping me notice my pride.
And for humbling me.
Thank you for your justice.
And your grace just the same.
Now I willingly humble myself in Your Almighty Presence.
Selah.
My Lord, MyComforter.
Your grace is ever-so-sufficient for me.
You have made a phenomenal difference in my life.
You, Oh Lord! Are responsible for taking my soul from the depths of the world and the grasp of Satan's palms.
And given me your light, your life... your forgiveness.
I will for now and forever be the "Fire of God" you intended me to be.
Selah.
