Did you ever wish?

 Did you ever sit there

and just wish.

Wish there was a plain

simple text

Something that could give

guidance when perplexed,

encouragement,

when down cast,

inspiration,

when stagnating

strength,

when worn out,

the key,

to open untold mysteries,

and the goal,

for every best life lived

A guide 

for our wandering lives.

A caution

for imminent danger.

Did you ever wish 

for the perfect prayer?

I found it.

Psalm 19

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

The skies display his craftmanship.

Day after day they continue to speak;

night after night they make him known.

They speak without a sound or word;

their voice is never heard.

Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,

and their words to all the world.

God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.

It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.

It rejoices like a great athlete

eager to run the race.

The sun rises at one end of the heavens

and follows it's course to the other end.

Nothing can hide from it's heat.

The instructions of the LORD are perfect, 

reviving the soul.

The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy,

making wise the simple.

The commandments of the LORD are right,

bringing joy to the heart.

The commands of the LORD are clear,

giving insight for living.

Reverence for the LORD is pure,

lasting forever.

The laws of the LORD are true;

each one is fair.

They are more desirable than gold,

even the finest god.

They are sweeter than honey,

even honey dripping from the comb.

They are a warning to your servant,

a great reward for those who obey them.

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?

Cleanse me from these hidden faults.

Keep your servant from deliberate sins!

Don't let them control me.

Then I will be free of guilt 

and innocent of great sin.

May the words of my mouth 

and the meditations of my heart

be pleasing to you,

O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
