Mocking: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

                 Mocking

                Murmurs gurgle 

                Like a stream under

                Storm, a constant

                Rush of sound

                Erratic, chaotic

                No soothing melody

                Shape into taunts

                Day and night

                Strumming chords.

Psalm 37:30: "The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak justice."

Sight

Lord, You often show us that the battles can begin in our doubts and fears and even in minor irritations--before they grow into our battle zones.

Guide us into when and how we can pause before You in prayer to seek Your path first. To guide us to see our circumstances through the eyes of Your Spirit.

Before the lies and worries can grow into fear and doubts and attacks. Within or without.

Keep us remembering to pause and pray all day long and stay close to You.
