God's stream of blessing #prayer #bible #God

I've posted briefly on MS Calling about my experience of Lectio Divina yesterday.
As most of you will know Lectio Divina involves reading the same passage of the Bible slowly and repeatedly whilst listening to what God wants you to hear from it.

Well I couldn't read the passage, it was too small and the church was dark and my phone didn't have enough signal.  But I trusted that God would find a way for me to hear from Him.  And He didn't fail me.  The passage from Hosea was read aloud at the start of the session and I asked God to speak to me in that reading and He gave me

"How can I give you up?" Hosea 11:8

And then He gave me an endless supply of words, almost like a song more than a poem, which I wish I could have recorded some how.  It went on for the full 15 minutes of the session, just an endless succession of positive words prayed over my head and heart.

I've sat here today, stuck because the evening after the session went a little wrong, asking God if He will give me the stream of blessing again.  And I've decided that I'm going to sit here with my eyes closed and just touch type whatever comes.  Who knows what will happen, but here goes....

How can I give you up

I have called you by name

you are precious to me

and you always will be

even when you have doubt

I won't let you down

I'm there by your side

Keeping you in sight

Endlessly with you

I'll never abandon

Above time and space

I'm invested in you

and I trust in your patience

and I know you can cope

and I hear you in tears

and it hurts me within

but know you're not alone

I'm never going to leave

Forever you're mine

and you have much to give

just keep on going

even if you're crawling

I need you on my side

throughout all your life

it won't always be this hard

and I won't let you down

I have to say it just didn't flow like yesterday and it leaves me feeling a bit disappointed, but perhaps it's not meant to be something which can be recorded, it was meant to be a blessing poured out.  So I'll just leave this here and hope it makes some sense to someone apart from me.
