Turning Points in Life…The Promises of God

Psalm 5 (words by Leslie Brandt)

Can You hear, O God, what I have to say?
Do You feel something of what I feel this morning?

I know, O God, that You are grieved by the selfishness of Your children.
The world You created seems to be falling apart.
Your creatures are living for themselves alone.
They are proud and self-sufficient.
They think they don’t need You any longer.
I also know, O Lord, that I cannot exist without the assurance of Your eternal love.
Thus I commit myself once more to You and Your purposes.
Help me to walk in Your path for my life.
Give me grace to overcome the many obstacles in the way. 

The philosophies that come out of our world
 Bear little resemblance to the truth You revealed to us.
They are subtle and seductive, and men are led astray
By forked tongues and suave soft-sell.
Enable us to recognize them for what they are:
 Shallow, superficial, ultimately destructive. 

Those who follow You need not be dismayed.
They can sing and dance in the joy of their Lord.
You will continue to reveal Yourself to them
And care for them and work out Your purposes in and through them
