Psalm 59

Time is precious,
a gift from the Lord.
Cherish every moment,
every day the Lord gives you.

Yes, there is eternity,
but life now is not meaningless.
God has put us here, now,
for His purpose and plan.

Enjoy the life you have.
Do not let it slip by.
Honor God by living truly,
living joyfully, living fully.

God, the creator of time,
calls you to use it well.
Your charge, O man?
Make the best out of each and every day.

Psalm 39

(FYI, I plan on getting back to my names of God psalms next psalm.)

O Lord, the hindrances!
Why is it so easy to give up?
Why do I let busyness
tear me away from you?
You are my life!
Everything I have,
everything I am,
comes from you.
Can I not preserve time for you?
Lord, motivate me
to make the time!
May my passion for you
overwhelm my desire for
mindlessly entertaining myself.
Throw off the fetters of
exhaustion from my mind.
Give me a clarity
that pulls me into
meditation of you.
Lord, recapture my time!

Psalm 17

Time seems an enemy to me, O Lord.
My schedule fills, my life is busy.
I complain of never enough time in a day.

Lord, is this dilemma truly displaced priority?
Show me, O God, where my time should lie.
Keep me from falling into this trap.
I desire to serve you and to use the gifts given to me.
Direct my efforts to what you have planned.
Change time from my enemy to my friend,
time as an agent of your purposes.
May my time bring glory to your name!
