The Storm still Rages

O Lord, The storm still rages.
But I am safe in you.
My enemies have plotted against me.
But you know their plans.

Destruction comes to claim his prize.
But you laugh in his face.
Confusion comes to spread his lies.
But your truth intervenes.
Frustration taunts me.
But your peace fills my soul.
Depression's darkness tries to overwhelm.
But your light explodes all around me.
Temptation arrives with ugly purpose.
But you answer the door.

You are my God.
In you I will be.

Depressed But Not Defeated

O Lord, look on me with pity,
The habits of my mind have destroyed me,
My heart and mind have conspired,
The destruction of my soul is their delight.

But you are greater than my mind,
You created my heart.
O Lord, rescue me from myself.
Let me stand in the light of your love.

Defeat the darkness of depression.
Make me whole by your presence.
Give me strength to fight.
Give me strength to stand still.

Uphold me with your righteousness.
Overwhelm me with your joy.
Rescue me with your peace.
And I will continually praise your name.
