I forgive You, oh God

As with Christ’s baptism,
a step unnecessary, truly,
for You are eternal, righteous…
You are Holy in Yourself…
Love, alive…
 
But I pray these words
from within my spirit,
words of pain, of anger,
of unrighteous condemnation,
Feeling You were not there…
 
Please forgive me, Lord,
for my last of faith, of trust…
In that spirit, hear these words,
“I forgive You, oh God, Father,
for the harm I claimed You caused me…”
 
I release every lie of Satan,
every part of my heart he holds,
for I know You never left me,
(my own sin is ever before me),
Thank You for loving me…
Oh how I love You, Lord…

It was always Satan

He was in the field
strewn with garbage
caught in the thorns
for us to see, to touch…
 
He was there in those moments
that changed me forever
He caused me to feel shame
silent when it wasn’t my fault…
 
It was always Satan
speaking his lies to me
He said God didn’t love me,
that He left me in my pain…
 
Alone, in my shame, I listened,
lies sank into my flesh,
His lies condemned me,
keeping me from rest…
 
It was always Satan
But I hid it, silent,
I did not give my pain to God,
In secret they ate me up…

one pivotal moment

one pivotal moment
given power in secret
shame etched on my spirit
seared in my consciousness,
changing who I am…
 
only a few minutes
but changing my life completely,
no longer able to love
to be happy in my spirit,
changing who I am…
 
an identity shaped in silence
in secret far too long
those few minutes given power
my days given to Satan
changing who I am…
 
only now reclaiming myself,
what was lost and broken, taken,
being open and transparent about my pain,
turning to our Father’s love,
changing who I am…

lost, damaged, stolen

a few minutes of touching
my body reacting
horror and shame
a knife stabbed through me,
never fully healed…
 
years of silence
my sense of shame unspoken
the hurt he caused
a wound without scar tissue
open and bleeding still…
 
so much lost, damaged, stolen,
in those brief few minutes,
my innocence, my wonder,
my sense of sexuality,
my ability to be honest, open…
 
years of silence
letting the hurt change me,
acting out in anger
later, accepting,
taking what wasn’t mine…

Hear my cry, oh Father

I am hurting, I am broken
I am separated from You,
I have not felt You with me
in my pain, my brokenness…
 
I have felt abandoned, afraid
when the enemy attacks me
I have carried my pain,
a shame deep within me…
 
Hear my cry, oh Father,
even when words do not come
the prayers deep within me
how I need Your love…
 
I have tried to fill the hole
the ache deep within me
but You alone are the answer
to every prayer I have spoken,
every one left unsaid…

Messianic Words – v2

Messianic words, of this moment,
prophetic articles of faith
of pain, of trust in God,
even in our transgressions
the curse of our stain, our sin,
the blood our Savior carried
when He bore the Father’s wrath
when He felt separated from God…
 
How powerful His praise, His worship
His certainty of protection, defiant,
the power of His faith, His truth,
holy in His Spirit, exalted,
in His pouring out of worship
His life His own Ransom
piercing His hands and feet
our holy sacrifice…

re:generation, Step 6, Repent, Large Group, June 30, 2025
“Everyone today focuses on Christ's words of Psalm 22:1, on the cross; but as the leader was reading the whole psalm to the large group Monday night, I was hearing the promises of God that were in the original full psalm, what Jesus knew and what the original hearers who heard his cry on the cross would have known. It was a moment of abandonment, a separation from God perhaps in verse 1, but the rest of the psalm 22 was a powerful witness that God had not abandoned Him or the people of Israel, or any of us who believe...”

separated from God

the wrath excruciating
far more than the lash, the thorns,
feeling singular emptiness
supporting the wrath of God…
 
estranged from the Father,
the Son writhing in anguish,
the seed of eternity, the firstborn,
dying in pain on our cross…
 
torture beyond our imagination,
feeling forsaken by God
Christ in His torment
suffering the wrath of God…

The mystery of suffering

The consequence of sin
of our sinful nature
of natural disasters
the curse on the land…
 
The mystery of suffering
beyond our comprehension,
nothing we can explain sometimes,
sometimes it just is…
 
God is good, all-powerful,
but pain entered creation,
free will, bad choices,
things we cannot know…
 
But they do not change,
God’s eternal nature,
for God is good, righteous,
even before there was creation…

We lament, we cry out

We lament, we cry out,
“God, why?!?”
an emptiness, a pain,
faith does not touch…
 
Evil, sin, estrangement,
pain we cannot comprehend,
not giving everything to God,
the source of our strength…
 
Open wounds, unmended,
scar tissue still bleeding,
hurt, pain we carry,
that we don’t trust to God…
 
We still lament, we cry out,
“God, why?!?”, We carry
an emptiness, a pain,
that our faith does not touch…

feeling alone in this moment

feeling alone in this moment
wailing up to heaven
estranged from the Father
covered in our sin.
 
feeling alone in this moment
praying the psalm on the cross
crying out to heaven
to feel that closeness again.
