Psalm 8
Overshadow me Father,
As You did to the Mother of your Child*
Give me the wisdom to be a parent
to a child who is not always with me.
We live in troubled times,
when families are divided
and turned into enemies.
Though I try to be an ally
I am pitted as an adversary.
Make my body a dwelling place
for You oh Lord
Though I try to take the high road
I am wrestled to the low.
I toss to and fro at night;
my mind will not let me rest.
In the counsel of Your servant
make my mouth speak Your words,
for my heart aches and is angry
and I fear it will not serve.
I know the power of the tongue**
and words chosen wisely bring favor.
For Logos is living and active***
piercing to bone and marrow
Nothing is hidden from You oh Lord
You know what I think before I do****
So I trust in you to guide me
lighting the way to yet
undiscovered territory
I stand firmly on the foundation
of Your Love
You lead me to walk on water
as Peter, let me not sink
for lack of faith.
But let me rise to the Throne Room
in the heavenlies
bringing down to earth
Your Divine Nature
Blessing here blessing there
Until there are more blessings
than cursing
and it spreads over the planet
in a resounding hymn of Praise!
Fill us up Oh Lord
even in the secret places
Let us resemble more of You
Help us to come down from the mountain
glowing from Your Glory
and spreading the good news
throughout the land!

*Luke 1: 34.Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" 35.The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.
**Proverbs 15: 4.A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
***Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
****Psalm 139:1.O Lord, you have searched me and known me.2.You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.3.You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.4.Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.
