Breathing

Singing heart wearied…
Burdened by well-meaning thoughts and expectations,
Tired of the overwhelming waters
Yet restful in the storm.
Demands and exhaustion
Cannot conquer my spirit.
My Father is mightier than the punishing waves
That over me roll…
They will never be triumphant.
I stand in the surf
Face to the wind
Breathing Him in lest I quit breathing.
Sun-rising glorious
Clear day
Fresh start each moment
He will never leave me.
My troubles will dissolve
Like vapor before the sun…
Burning to high heaven no longer seen.
Forgotten.
Forgiven.
Like my own offenses…
I choose to let go.
I walk forward.
I live…
Princess…
Daughter of the Most High…
Breathing.

 
“The LORD rules over the floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever.”
Psalm 29:10 NLT
