Crash Over Me

I wait for the Lord,

My soul does wait,

And in His word

Do I hope.

-Psalm 130:5

 

I am eager to hear from You,

to hear the rumbling of Your voice

as it crashes over me

I wait for Your direction,

to tell me where to go,

who to love,

what to do with all

You have lain present

inside me.

I want to make You proud,

yet I fear I am too timid

to cast a ripple on the water.

You are the ocean

through my tide,

You press into me with cool,

wet hands.

I stand with Your love

lapping at my ankles,

and in the gulp of waves to shore

I hear You whisper,

telling me to rise

with Your water sprayed wind.

Prayer:

Splash me with Your love, spray me with Your truth and saturate me with the healing waters of Your love. For I am static on the shoreline and watching for Your waves to come crashing in. Find me and fill me, Lord. Amen.
