Eager, anxious, tired and frustrated... needing the winds of change to blow through life... just barely getting by day to day, hoping for the best, yet living through the worse... wishing for so much, yet seeing so little... I know so many people have gone through these kinds of moments and its such an unsettling place to be. In these moments we cry out in prayer to our Heavenly Father and many times experience the strain and loneliness of His silence... We want to trust Him completely, but feel so insecure in our disappointments in life and His silence provides us no comfort... Where do we go? Who can we seek for help? Where do we get answers from? We run to friends and/or family members... some who can understand and relate to us, others who with good intentions try to help us see things from another light, and yet others who do not understand and may even belittle us with their responses to us. Usually no matter where they come from or how much or little they can connect to us in these times, a void still remains... an emptiness that needs to be filled... and there is only ONE person who can fill that in our lives... Our need for Him is always present, expanding from every height, depth and width... nothing else can comfort, satisfy, or fulfill us but Him... He is our one and only Savior, our King and our Father... GOD... So how can we receive good from Him, when we feel He is distant and silent with us... when in our biggest needs, He does not always run to us quickly to save or rescue us? The answers are individual for each of us... based on our love for God and trust in Him... How much are we willing to hold tight to His Word and His promises for our lives? How much are we willing to have faith that He has a good plan for our lives and that He is working on our behalf? Each of us in our journey in life will come to the place where no one else's words can comfort and we have to decide for ourselves how much or how little we truly live for God and where we want to go with Him. Usually we will cross this path several times in our lives... we overcome one struggle to later be confronted with another one... I pray for each person who is facing these moments in their lives, that you will be filled with love and hunger for more of God in your life... that you would find the strength to hold tightly to Him and find all you have ever needed and wanted in Him.
I waited for You today
But You didn't show
No.No.No.
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
You said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone.
And though I cannot see You
and I can't explain why.
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life oh
We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone
We cannot separate
You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply
and I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone
