OF HONEST PRAYERS...
We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking
to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of
our hearts. A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise.
A good number
of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that
music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made
sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very
helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so
much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my
spirit and wonder what changed.
I work so hard...I live so fast
This life begins...and then it ends
And I do the best that I can
But I don't know how long I'll last.
On one such
instance I remember telling God, “Please...please fix this.” Basically I needed
Him to breathe life into me. It is exhausting going around singing songs and
saying things you don’t really mean…laughing out loud yet your heart is really
not laughing. These are the times we fake smiles so much it hurts.
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone,
God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Saviour please, keep saving me
At that point
in time God reminded me of this song and the sincerity in it. He reminded me of
surrender. Sometimes our walk with Him ceases to make sense when we fail to
give everything to Him. When we’re trying to handle things our own way
while lying to ourselves that we have surrendered everything to Him. When we
know that we’re falling apart but our pride or our fear dictates that we have
to keep up a good show.
I fall so hard…I
fade so fast
Will You begin
right where I end?
And be the God
of all I am
Coz
You’re all that I have.
Things will not always be smooth but let’s stay in touch with our
Maker. Let’s stay in touch when everything is falling into place and when
everything seems to be falling apart. Let’s surrender the very ‘put-together’
parts of our lives and the ones we’d rather not even admit exist. May we make
honest prayers. May we cease to relate to God like He’s one of those people
we’re dying to prove a point to. I mean...does He not assure us that nothing can separate us from His love?
(Romans 8:35-39)
Everything
you are to me
Is everything I'll ever need.
And I am learning to believe
Is everything I'll ever need.
And I am learning to believe
That
I don’t have to prove a thing
‘Cause you're the one who's saving me…
‘Cause you're the one who's saving me…
