The Psalms of Life

Psalms 24: 7-10

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah."

Lord my life is nothing but a constant struggle. I fight daily to survive. I feel as if the mighty lion of the deep dark place has come and swallowed me up. Sometimes I can see myself overcoming the lion. But others I see myself being eaten alive. Lord the Psalms of my life isn't the happy or uplifting Psalms. It is the Psalms of distress when King David was hiding out from those who would attack him, when he turned to you for help. That is my life. I am hiding from those who would attack and devour me. But I can't hide forever, I live with the enemy daily. I am hidden out at the enemy's house. And I turn to you Lord for help. Some people's lives flow, others have it bad and then it gets good, others have it good and then gets bad, and so on and on. Me Lord, my life is full of conflict, it's a complex of contradictions. And I am lost in a blizzard of nothingness. Save me from this worry, dying, wilting, wondering, confusing, emotionally depriving land.
Lord I live only for you, without you there is no me and my life is vacant and void. I need you oh Lord to survive. I need you to live.
