FAITH

Psalm:73:6

"My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

FAITH! How do you have faith when it feels like you are alone. No one knows you like you wished they knew you. Things are not going as planned. Finances are crumbling. Depression is taking over. Life is just falling apart. To have FAITH that the things you dreamed up as a little girl will come true. To rejoice with others. I don't know how I have faith these days but sometimes it just happens. Maybe it's because there is a piece of my heart that realizes it is not out of His control. He is good. He only asks me to TRUST. To have faith. To EMBRACE today, and to not worry about tomorrow. 
Lord help me in my doubt, in my fears, in my unbelief. Be my strength. And help me till the end of my days to proclaim your great name EVEN when the dark clouds loom, may I still have FAITH in that You are FOR me and NOT against me. 

GIve me Faith

By: Elevation Church

"I need you to soften my heart
To break me apart
I need you to open my eyes
To see that You’re shaping my life

All I am, I SURRENDER

Give me faith to trust what you say
That you’re good and your love is great
I’m broken inside, I give you my life

I need you to soften my heart
To break me apart
I need you pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me

I may be weak
But your Spirit’s strong in me
My flesh may fail
My God you NEVER will!"

Steady my heart

One of my new favorite songs. The words in the first verse: "Why is life so messy," "Why is pain apart of us," "Wish it could be easy," are always on my heart.  Not something you want to confess out loud yet this is where I find myself to often these days.  Instead of finding my completeness, wholeness, HOPE in Him. I am fretting about my mistakes from yesterday, what today held or what is even to come tomorrow. Like a daughter runs to her dad when she is hurt or excited to see him, I want to run to my Savior in my darkest hours instead of falling into thinking I can do it all on my own. In the messiness, in the hurt. I want Him to be my REFUGE. I hope this song, these lyrics comfort your soul if you find yourself where I am this morning.  //Even when it hurts/Even when it's hard/Even when it all just falls apart/I will run to You/Cause I know that You are/Lover of my soul/Healer of my scars/You steady my heart// 

Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy
Why is pain a part of us
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so much

But You're here
You're real
I know I can trust You

Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart 

I'm not gonna worry
I know that You got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment
What's good and what gets broken
Happens just the way that You plan

But You're here
You're real
I know I can trust You

Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart 

And I will run to You
And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
Cause of everything You are

You steady my heart
