My country...I'm longing for Liberty

My country...I'm longing for Liberty America. The land of opportunity. But so many broken hearts and broken dreams. When is free trade free? There are so many being oppressed and in captivity. So many broken, stuck in a cycle of poverty. Why do we turn a blind eye? Shouldn't this be our mission field? Why do we settle for complacency? I come before God with tears. I'm spread too thin, weak and weary. I'm loaded down, sick of the world's sin, sick of my own pain. Anger seethes by the lack of justice in our global markets. People only seeking after worldly gain, money, fame. I'm longing for liberty and freedom for the captives of our greed. Hungry children weigh on my mind. Give them a chance! Let us believe in a better world! Hold ourselves to higher standards, seeking the best for others, not just ourselves. We can make a difference when we band together. Let us seek the Lord together, being trans...

Be my Peace...

Be my Peace... I'm trying so hard to hold it all together, but there's never enough of me. I want to let it go, I hate feeling so down. Put your trust in a holy God. My broken heart cries out. My flesh is weary. I am poured out like oil. Father, fill me up again! I'm struggling. I want to see your face! Show me your glory! Send your presence down. You are just, in you I trust. I am weary, let me rest. Be my peace. How can I rest when the world is broken? How can I have peace when the oppressed cry out? The blood of the innocent seeps into the ground, crying out for justice. Who will hear their cry? Who will be the answer? The God of glory will heal the brokenhearted. He will bind up the wounds. Let justice roll like a river, righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. May you be our peace. Even when we are faithless, you are faithful. I will trust you above all. You are good. Your love endures for...

Hold me Together

Hold me Together Why can't you just fix it all God? I'm breaking under this load, being smashed to smitherines by my overworked mind and high expectations. I'm broken inside, crawling, falling. I'm being held down by pride. Ah! Help me God! I really can't hold it together. What do I think I am? Glue? No. I'm a broken human. I've been trusting in my worn down flesh. Why do I make such a mess? Is inner peace a possibility? Lately, it's been a mystery, a faint dream. I'm burdened by my sins and misgivings. Get rid of my heart of stone, give breath to these dry bones. My self-sufficiency is toxic. I'm struggling to spiritually breathe. I take many things in, but I struggle to let them back out. Why am I holding in my spiritual poop!?! Give me Christian yoga. Give me an outlet! I want to be poured out for the Lord, not myself! Lord, give me electricity, perseverance, streng...
