Psalms of a Lovesick Bride: A Poetic Journey of Intimacy, Book Ii

By Annette V. Killam

Jesus is coming,
His love so overwhelming it crashes in like a wave.
Jesus truly saves.
He delivers us from our darkest enemies.
He heals us of pain and sickness.
He makes us want to live free from sin and destruction.
He empowers us to make the life choices.
He reminds me that His answer is “Yes and amen!”

During moments of emotional devastation and the temptation to lose hope, Jesus came to Annette Killam’s rescue and simply said to the enemy of her soul, “Enough.” Instantly, she was divinely inspired to reciprocate her love to Him through original lyrical psalms.

In the second volume of her poetic journey of intimacy, Killam shares more psalms inspired from a lovesick bride, eager to lavish her God with deep love. Throughout her collection, Killam not only highlights her own relationship with the Lord, but also encourages others to hold onto God, through both joyful and broken times, and enjoy the beauty that comes from giving Him our whole heart, and loving Him with all that we are and all that we have.

Psalms of a Lovesick Bride is a continuing volume of inspirational psalms that provides a glimpse into a believer’s heart as she journeys through life

INTRODUCTION

Dearest Reader,

In my previous book, Psalms of a Lovesick Bride: A Poetic Journey of Intimacy, I shared 91 of my personal psalms with you, and my heart’s desire was to write at least 150 psalms to honor and glorify Jesus. With great joy, I present to you this completed project. After all these years, I remain lovesick, and because love is meant to be reciprocated, one way I choose to reciprocate love to Jesus is through poetry. In fact, I am compelled to write to Him, regularly in the form of a psalm, much like King David and the other psalmist.

My journey since our last publication has felt long, and it has definitely had its twists and turns. At times, the winding road has forbidden me from seeing what was just around the bend, but Jesus has been faithfully at my side each and every step of the way.

In my moments of emotional devastation and unfortunate temptation to lose hope, Jesus came to my rescue and simply said to the enemy of my soul, Enough. And instantly, I was divinely delivered. My peace was restored by the Prince of peace. My joy was restored by the one who, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross that I may enjoy each and every benefit of being a child of God. And when I felt alone, He hugged me with His beautiful declaration in Matthew 28:20: And lo, I am with you always.

His light and love instantly illuminated the darkness, attacking my mind and my emotions, and my soul was restored as He graciously set me free. Sometimes, it was freedom from my situation and circumstances, and sometimes, it was freedom from myself. His truth will always override the lies that the enemy speaks to us and through us.

By the grace of God and the divine inspiration of Holy Spirit, I was drawn to a blank piece of paper, and each time, a new psalm was birthed. When I felt crushed, like a grape in a vat, He made new wine. He was always
