The "Peace" To My Puzzle

There is a "peace" to my puzzle that I'm missing...I'm incomplete!
So I retreat to that quiet place where God and I used to meet

Because my faith has been tested and I need to pray.
There's no way to get around it so I seek His face.

I close my eyes and I visualize me at His feet,
Bowed down and as humble as I could ever be.

I repent of my sins to make sure my slate is clean.
I know He's the bread of life, but I feel like my plate is clean.

I need directions to where I'm going before I stray too far.
Its been a while since the last time I prayed to God

I've backslid to a point where I'm filled with guilt
So I need to strengthen the bond that He and I have built

"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil!" Now I am free to take a breath.

"He lovingly leads me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul", along with His sons and daughters.

"He annoints my head with oil. My cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me," So, I go where He goes

I will take shelter in arms whenever there's bad weather
"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" and ever

AMEN!!!

Thanks Sojourner! Just trying to speak to others while I speak to myself. You know?!

There is nothing like finding that piece to the puzzle. Sometimes we try to force a piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit and end up wasting so much time trying to force things to fit that were not meant to fit.

@Natarsha- So many people try to squeeze "a piece" instead of "the peace" to the puzzle and cause the entire puzzle to fall apart. "The peace" fits so comfortably. If they only knew.
