Adonai
While completing Disciple’s prayer life for the developing prayer team in the student ministry(and hopefully becoming open to any one) we had to write our own 23rd Psalm. The point of it is to illustrate how each of us have a unique relationship with our Creator. Not one is the same! I actually enjoyed writing mine out and I’ll share it here. These were the instructions if some are curious how we had to go about writing it.
Verse 1: who God is in relation to you–two phrases. Verse 2: where He puts you– two phrases. Verse 3: the walk you have with Him–two phrases. Verse 4: potential danger and His protection–three phases. Verse 5: God’s provision–three phases. Verse 6: your future in this special relationship with God–two phrases.
The author of this study, T.W. Hunt, does a fantastic job with this particular book. It’s great. Anyway, here’s mine (my disclaimer, I’m not much of a writer, but this isn’t about rhetoric):
The Lord is my master. I will never cease to serve Him.
His abounding glory puts me on my knees. The Lord is so much greater than I.
You guide me through your will. I follow in submissiveness.
Sin may tempt but my Lord is there for escape. Evil will not conquer light. My strength rests in the Everlasting.
You answer my every prayer. My mind is renewed by you daily. Heaven awaits me as I await your arrival.
My master will not abandon me for He is good; His mercy is never ending. I will stand on the rock always.
