Last Friday, fcfUth learned to write a personalized psalm in the form of David's 23rd Psalm.  We were reminded that our God is personal and He ministers to us in specific ways.   Our individual relationship with Him is unique and creative.   Each personalize psalm written was based on how they view their personal relationship with God.  So, hoping to see some examples of what they've written.

Here's mine to start with  (please don't laugh, I'm no poetry genius.  just speaking from the heart) .  I describe my relationship with God as like a Traveller to a Travel Guide.

                The Lord is my Travel Guide;

I shall not get lost

                He maketh me pass through scenic routes;

He leadeth me to memorable places

                He guideth me in paved roads of righteousness

for His name’s sake

                Yea, though I walk through unknown places;

I will not fear anything; for Thou art with me

                Thy compass and thy map

they keepeth me on track

                Thou preparest a clear course before me

in the presence of my roadblocks

                Thou anointest my heart with security;

my trust in Thou overflows

                Surely instructions and direction will guide me all the days of my life

                And I will remain in my Travel Guide’s itinerary forever

I encourage you to write your own.  Here's the format we used:

Verse 1:  who God is in relation to you – 2 phrases

Verse 2:  where He puts you – 2 phrases

Verse 3:  the walk you have with Him – 2 phrases

Verse 4:  potential danger and His protection – 3 phrases

Verse 5:  God’s provision – 3 phrases

Verse 6:  your future in this special relationship with God – 2 phrases
