A relationship with the almighty God in heaven is a journey.... A life long journey, it has both its ups and downs, its highs and lows.
My prayer journal entry below was inspired by the place in the picture above. A serene place in Nepal's Hymalayan mountains not far from Mt Everest. (the roof of the world)
Yes I was there, I took the picture spending some time in the silence contemplating how God has lead me in the last few years, soaking up his creation, his love and grace for me.
I still dream about this spot (literally dream), that river flowing from who knows where to the ocean. Ten major rivers originate in the Himalaya and supply freshwater to 1.3 billion people. It's literally the water of life.
Hows your journey with God, with the almighty, with your Lord and Saviour, the one who died in your place?
If you haven't contemplated/meditated/ thought about it in a while I challenge you to spend some time in basking God's presence asking him to show you your journey.
Anyway here is my prayer journal entry after visiting this place. I hope you find it useful and inspiring
There where he takes me
He takes me from one height to another
Stronger and stronger with him he wants to make me
He brings me up
Up to the roof of the world
There where he takes me
There where he meets me
In the quiet still thin air
By the mountain spring he renews my soul
He reminds me of the covenant and the promises he made to me
He’s the water of life flowing from places unseen by human eye
Bringing to life the dark places of my heart
As the water of life flows into the sea
It washes me clean taking with it all the darkness
Drowned for all eternity into its depths
Never to be seen again
To this place I must return
For this place my soul yearns
There where he takes me
There where he meets me
My God
My redeemer
It’s the water of life I thirst for
And it’s joyous love I wait to explore
It’s his wonderful love I am thankful for
Whatever I do wherever I go
There where he takes me
There where he leads me
I want to go
This water of life
This love
This grace
This forgiveness
This healing
This reconciliation with the almighty
I am unworthy
Not even a bit
Even with my best efforts I’ll never attain
The life from him
That comes free as a gift
It cost him everything to set me free
There where he takes me
There where he chose me
My God my redeemer
My friend my saviour
I must chose him
I do chose him
My God my saviour
