Awake, my soul from restless sleep. Stir my heart – inviting His presence. Arouse my mind, evoking His Word. Awake, my soul from the darkest depths. Stir my heart with love abounding. Arouse my mind – remembering His promises. © 2022 Raelyn Pracht

A MORNING PRAYER
Oh, how the words of Psalm 143:8 struck me this morning! Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust.Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

Throwback Thursday: Upheld- A Poem on Psalm 51:12-15 (2019)
Upheld with a willing spirit, not with defense or fight. Upheld with a hopeful outlook, one of trust and faith. Upheld above the clouds of darkness, far from my sins and transgressions.

Be Not the Fool – Thoughts on Psalm 53
Be not the fool who says in their heart, “there is no God.” We all fall short. No one does good. A somber thought if it stayed there. Yet, it doesn’t. He invites us into His loving mercy and grace.
