I was at a grade retreat at a Christian camp with my school and I went to a prayer workshop and read one of David’s Psalms. Then they asked us to write one of our own. I thought this was a really good idea because you can write about what you’re struggling with and how the LORD can help you through that. You can also add what the LORD has helped you through and praise Him for it. Then when you’re done writing it, you can reflect upon it everyday or whenever you’re struggling and be encouraged. You can pray it everyday or you can just use it as praise. I think it’s a great idea and encourage you to make your own Psalm!
Anny’s Psalm
After all You've done
for me,
I should not hold
anything back.
What I have is Yours
from the start,
So I should not
treasure them
as if they are my
own.
At times of
conflict and shallowness,
I shall remember Your
sacrifice
and how undeserving I
am.
How foolish am I to
hold on to things in my life
when You promise to
provide more?
May others laugh at
me and rebuke me for
being Yours.
They hated You first,
let them hate me
next.
It's hard to allow
it,
but you give me
strength.
LORD you are my help.
I shall rejoice for the
life that I have found in you.
It is far greater and
richer than any life others may seek.
O LORD teach me to
surrender all to you.
And to live not for
this life, but for the one to come.
