Hold My Heart


Dear Shepherd,

Your presence is such a comfort. How wonderful it is to know that every word You speak is true. I can trust You without restraint and know that You will never fail me. Forgive me for feeling lost and confused, for worrying about a future that is completely in Your hands. You have ordered each of my steps and can see my life from beginning to end. Your Word says that the best is yet to be and that You answer above and beyond all we ask or can imagine. You know me better than anyone will or can know me. You know the desires of my heart to the most specific detail. But most importantly, You know what will make me happy.
You know how incredible I think his smile was, how polite and kind he came across, and how I was in awe of the expressions of his heart. His accomplishments and ambition was dressed in humility. And greater than anything was his love for You and the desire in his heart to know You better. You know how many times a day I remember our meeting and how I long to see him again. In all my life I did not think that such a man existed and I wonder if he stepped out of my dreams. My heart longs to have faith in knowing that he is Your answer to my prayers and the one I will spend the rest of my life with. I am excited to begin the journey of knowing him more and seeing nothing but Your blessing. But my heart is even greater overflowing with the wonderment of experiencing the bond of love You created between a man and a woman. I do not believe I have ever felt such a pull on my heart before.
Lord, hold my heart gently; it is in Your hands. Have mercy and grace to the least deserving. Lord I believe, help Thou my unbelief.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
