Psalm 4

house-in-rain

Oh Lord, bring me to a home,
@@@a place set for me;
Bring me to a resting place
@@@that restores my spirit,
A haven from the battering blows
@@@that attempt to knock me over.
You have walked with me in my wanderings
@@@and always I thank You for Your shield.
You have laid my path to stopping places
@@@blessed with loving care.
Even in the darkest night, in cold solitude,
@@@You held me safe.
And yet, oh Lord, I have no spot of my own.
My heart aches for a home
@@@where I know it as my own,
@@@where I can play host to others,
@@@where the works of my hands can give me joy.
I trust in You, oh Lord,
@@@to lead me to a home.
Let my place always be a shelter of Your grace.

About Sarah

Now residing in Las Vegas, I was born in Michigan and moved to Texas when 16. After getting my Masters degree in English, I moved to Hollywood, because of the high demand for Medievalists (NOT!). As a freelance writer and editor, I found Nevada offers better conditions for the wallet. I love writing all sorts of things, and occasionally also create some artwork.
