“…I
have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. Concerning the works of men,
by the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.
Uphold my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps may not slip.” ~ Psalm 17:3-5
The path taken
Everyday

O Lord
The path
is uneven
I start out
full of hope
and promise
Looking forward
to Your miraculous day
and then
struck down
The destroyer meets me
at the door
as complaints
arguments
physical pain
anxious moments
push
against me
my balance is off-center

O Lord
yes, You, my Lord
help me
keep me away from the worldly path
of destruction
and deliver me
Keep me close, closer still, to You
and Your will
so my steps do not slip
and my balance is steady.
