FILL THE SANCTUARY OF MY HEART WITH PRAISE.

LORD, FILL THE SANCTUARY OF MY HEART WITH PRAISE, RESTORE THE JOY OF MY SALVATION, THE FELLOWSHIP OF YOUR SPIRIT.
I AM AS DEFENSELESS AS AN INFANT LORD. HEMMED IN ON EVERY SIDE. MY EVERY THOUGHT IS CHALLENGED AS TO WHETHER IT IS TRUTH. YOU ARE NOT CONFUSION, YOU ARE PEACE AND JOY AND THE SOUNDNESS OF MY MIND. THEREFORE AM I DEPENDENT UPON YOUR LOVING CARE, COME AND HOLD ME IN THE HOLLOW OF YOUR HANDS.
THE ENEMY HAS COME IN AS A FLOOD UPON ME, LIKE A ROARING SEA ABOUT TO SWALLOW ME UP. ONLY THE BIRDS SEEM TO BE FAITHFUL IN THEIR SONGS OF PRAISE ABOUT ME, AND THE CLAPPING OF THE LEAVES IN THE TREES ALSO GIVE YOU PRAISE, ELSE I WOULD LOSE HEART.
I CHOOSE TO GIVE YOU A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE LORD. COME AND PLAY THE HEARTSTRINGS OF MY HEART, AND I WILL NOT BE MOVED. THOUGH MY HEART SEEMS TO CONDEMN ME, YET DO YOU REMAIN FAITHFUL, I KNOW YOU WILL NOT FORSAKE ME, FOR I AM IN YOU, AND YOU WILL NOT DENY YOURSELF. I REST IN THE PROMISES OF YOUR WORD.
IT IS WRITTEN; "YOU WILL KEEP ME IN YOUR PERFECT PEACE, AS I STAY MY MIND UPON YOU." I REBUKE THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL, AND TURN TO YOU MY LORD. I CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH THAT YOU ARE THE LORD OF MY LIFE. YOU ARE MY SONG, AND MY SALVATION. MY CONSTANT FRIEND, MY LORD AND KING OF THE KINGDOM OF MY HEART.

"FOR THE MOUNTAINS SHALL DEPART, AND THE HILLS BE REMOVED, BUT MY LOVING KINDNESS SHALL NOT DEPART FROM YOU___NEITHER SHALL THE COVENANT OF MY PEACE BE REMOVED," SAITH THE LORD THAT HAS MERCY ON YOU.

I SEE AND KNOW HOW CONFOUNDED YOU ARE. TOSSED ABOUT WITH DOUBT AND FEAR.___YOU ARE CHOOSING NOT TO BE COMFORTED, BY YOUR OWN EFFORTS TO FIGHT THIS BATTLE ALONE, WITH YOUR OWN REASONING AND KNOWLEDGE.
I KNOW THE ENEMY, YOU MUST RELEASE HIM TO ME. AS YOU ARE IN ME, BEHOLD! THE BATTLE IS MINE. STAND STILL. BE STILL, AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD."
LISTEN TO ME___FOR THE BATTLE IS ALREADY WON, IT IS SETTLED, THE ENEMY HAS NOT ACCEPTED HIS DEFEAT, WILL YOU CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN?
I GIVE YOU COUNCIL___I WILL ESTABLISH YOU AND INSTRUCT YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS IF YOU WILL COMMIT THEM TO ME INSTEAD OF TO ANOTHER. I WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH, AND ORDAIN THE WORK I HAVE PURPOSED FOR YOU. IS IT NOT TO LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL AND MIGHT?
YOU HAVE CHOSEN ME AS YOUR GOD. WHO IS IT THAT TEMPTS YOU TO CONFESS OTHERWISE?
I WILL OPEN DOORS BEFORE YOU, I PREPARE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THOSE WHO RECEIVE ME AND MY SPIRIT WORD. I HAVE SET THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR LIFE, AND I WILL SET YOU AS A LIGHT UPON A HILL.
THIS IS THE PROMISE THAT I GIVE TO YOU THIS DAY___YOUR CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT OF ME AND THEY SHALL BE FILLED WITH PEACE. I WILL ESTABLISH YOU IN MY RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU SHALL BE FAR FROM OPPRESSION. YOU SHALL NOT FEAR THE TERRORS OF DARKNESS THAT COME AGAINST YOUR SOUL. REMEMBER THIS WHEN OTHERS COME TOGETHER TO HARM YOU AND DISTURB YOUR PEACE.
FOR IT IS NOT I THAT CAUSE SUCH CONFUSION___I TELL YOU THIS NOW SO YOU CAN STAND FIRM AND UNAFRAID___THEY SHALL FALL AT YOUR SIDE FOR MY NAMES SAKE.
EVEN THE EVIL ONE IS MY INSTRUMENT WHICH I USE TO DESTROY. SO EVERY TONGUE THAT COMES AGAINST YOU, WILL I DESTROY, FOR YOU SHALL SPEAK MY WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LOVE WHICH WILL CONDEMN THEM.
THIS IS YOUR INHERITANCE MY BELOVED; YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OF ME."
