Black clouds filled my world and I could see nothing. Lord, you opened my eyes and showed me the sun. It's bright rays pierced through the darkness within me and chased the clouds away. You brought me joy that I didn't know even existed, and you raised me high above the earth to a place where I was safe.
Lord, you gave me friends so I wouldn't be alone. You listened whenever I wanted to speak. You spoke whenever I wanted to hear. You answered my questions and explained to me the things I didn't understand.
When I was sick, you gave me health. When I had no strength, you lifted me up and carried me. When I was lost, you found me and then you showed me the way home. And when every one else went their own way and left me to myself, you stayed by my side and took care of me.
You loved me so greatly and I was horrible in return. I turned my back on you and walked the other way. When you called out to me, I covered my ears. When you came out to see me, I turned and ran away.
Yet, when I stumbled and fell.... When I cried out for you and begged for your help, you reached out and caught me. You smiled at me and told me how greatly you loved me. You forgave me. Then you brought me home.
I am not perfect. I'm not even worthy of your kindness. I doubt I ever will be. But I am grateful to you for being with me when I needed you most. I thank you for being there, and I am so sorry for chasing you away. I ask you to please help me never do so again. Please help me be a better person.
I may not have wings, Lord, but I know that with you in my heart I can fly.

Back in 2007 I was attending Institute (it's a religious class). We were given the assignment to write our own psalm. I'm no poet (as you can probably tell), but I took the assignment to heart and did my best. I even drew a picture to go along with it since I figured I'm better at those.
I sorta stumbled on my psalm and it's accompanying picture about a week ago. They may be a little goofy, but they come from my heart. So, I felt like sharing them. I edited the psalm a bit so it would flow a little better. I also had to clean up the picture some cause the colors had smeared.
The picture was sketched with pencil. I then colored it with watercolors and colored pencils. Finally I darkened the lines with a black colored pencil.

BTW...I have no idea what category this would go in.

Wow, this is an awesome idea.....I might use that for FHE with my future kids someday 
I think we can all relate to this, and how hard it can be to endure to the end at times.....so it's very comforting to know that we're not the only ones who struggle and that He is there to help us if only we will ask
