Song: “Strong Enough” by Matt West
I had a day late last week when I got slammed with a bunch of stuff and felt overwhelmed with everything going on. It was one of those days you wanted to crawl back in bed and start over again. Thankfully I don’t have to fix everything or depend on my own strength to solve all the problems that hit me because God is right there alongside of me helping. He is not surprised by the extra challenges that come into my life; in fact He uses them to reveal Himself even more in my life.
You must
You must think I’m strong
To give me what I’m going throughWell, forgive me
Forgive me if I’m wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own,I know I’m not strong enough to be
everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up
I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t you cover me
Lord right now I’m asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of usSong: “Out of My Hands” by Matthew West
Our lives can revolve around schedules and being efficient, however, certain interruptions in life are outside of our control. It is tough loosening our grip on certain areas of our lives. We often struggle to take control of the situations in our world yet it is when we let them go that we allow you to perform the true miracles.
It’s out of my hands
It’s out of my reach
It’s over my head
And it’s out of my league
There’s too many things
That I don’t understand
So it’s into your will
And it’s out of my handsSong: “The Motions” by Matthew West
When life gets busy it is easy to just go through the “motions”. Yesterday our Pastor discussed the topic of prayer and how we need to look at prayer differently. So many of us just go through the “motions” without even thinking about the deeper meaning behind prayer. Having the open channel of communication with our Heavenly Father is not only beneficial it is essential. It puts a whole new meaning on pray without ceasing! What “motions” are you just going through today? Take a few moments to quiet your heart and mind so you can focus on what’s important.
Song: “You Are Everything” by Matthew West
Isn’t it wonderful knowing that you have someone looking out for you. Many days I want to be “in control” of my life and it is only when I let it go and trust that he ultimately knows best that I have true peace. Who or what is your everything?
