I wrote this psalm-esque poem in regards to a friend going through a hard time. I've been thinking about my role as a friend and one who "points the way" when I know I can't fix their problems. The good news that we all know is, of course, that God can. Only He can. Oh Lord, You search the heart You know the inner workings of the mind Lord I lift up my prayer from a desire to be righteous, My petition from a pure and holy heart. I ask you to keep my heart from foolishness Let my mind be free from distraction Keep me from self worship Or to make myself an idol and king Instead let me point the way to You The only wise and holy King You make paths straight and heal the brokenhearted Your arms wrap around the hurting soul Keep me from my selfish ways Let me not use my name for greatness Instead let me point the way to You To lead others to Your righteousnes To guide their hearts to Your love
