Deep Purpose Has Arrived Page 80

Lord, I need to know that this is from you.

I see you; I hear you –I know that I do!

You lead me; you guide me. I follow your will!

But, I wonder; I pause and I hesitate, still!

I stand at the shore while you stand in the gap.

It is here where my confidence and fear overlap!

Waves of thought crash in and move out with the sand.

It’s just like that with Your Will and Your Hand.

Your arrival in my life seems to ebb and flow.

I need your constant presence so that I’m sure; so I know.

I begin to wonder if I’m hearing it right.

Is this your Spirit or mine? Is this your voice and insight?

Everyday this world just mixes me up!

It causes me to stumble, and discernment just stops.

Lord, have your way; do not leave me alone!

Holy Spirit blow in; change this heart made of stone.

I surrender; I do! Let the education begin;

I need a counselor who is also my friend.

Pour forth your wisdom; replenish my cup!

May my heart, mind and soul just drink it all up.

Though my heart is fallible; wicked above all...

I know it’s time to make adjustments; to answer your call.

So, I ask that you not leave me standing alone on the sand.

Sit with me as I speak to you; tell me your plan!

Your blessings are purposed; I’ve seen this for years.

They arrive when I surrender so I release all these fears.

You speak when I seek; your Word is your voice.

Your answer will be as certain as the level of faith in my choice.

I’ll move from the beach into deep waters of insight

And be comforted that whether I go to the left or the right…

I’ll hear you and see you; this time I’ll pay heed!

You are the compass; the navigator; I’m in good hands, have God’s speed!

Spiritual blessings abound as I lose sight of the shore

I’ll depart on an adventure like never before.

Lord, you've gifted and prepared me! You've done all that you can.

So, I'll turn my face to the sun and move further from land.

Here I go! “Here am I”! God has chosen to send me!

Deep purpose has arrived as I depart by sea!

"Whom shall I send? and who will go for us?" 
and I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

and the voice of the Lord who spoke to me on the shore of the sea!
