4 days since Saturday

Spent.

I am spent.

"It is Well With My Soul"....

Tired of thinking, tired of wondering, tired of repeating, tired of giving.

The song above was sung during worship last Sunday. It spoke and allowed me to be more at peace with no answers for now. Whether I get them directly from him one day or through God showing and leading me to understand everything that has gone on, either way, its all within time. An acoustic version of the song actually played the night before when Krystle and I were studying at Teahouse. She brought it to my attention, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Unbeknown to me, I would hear it again the next morning....

It doesn't matter that my intuition was right, it doesn't matter how much I try to speculate the future, how I don't understand everything. 

Guide me in my prayers when I don't know what and how to go about praying about things. Help me put aside all my wants and come to you with a submissive heart...Keep on breaking me down if needed so that I can build my way back up depending only on you...




One of my favorite songs, from the guitar chords to the lyrics....This is me. It never fails to make me tear every time I hear it.

Hillsong - From the Inside Out


A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out
 
 
Was on Biblegateway just now looking something up. The verse of the day on the homepage was this.
 
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in
him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is
to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to
be my disciples.”- John 15:5,8  
 
yes.

A wonderfully written post. I find that you are in a position that everyone has been in before, but it is very cathartic to give yourself a break and let the Man do his thing...

Lovely song as well. Christmas is just around the corner, just keep at it :)
