Pray

I'm writing this blog because I need prayer. I can't give you all the ooey gooey details because I'm not at a point yet where I can, but what I can tell you is that I need my friends and even just the strangers that happen upon this blog to pray. I need you to join alongside me believing that God hears and God will answer and pray.

The past few days have been a little tough. I find myself praying things I never in a million years thought I would be praying but you know what I will say ... God is still good. He is still in control. He is still on his throne. His promises are still true.

I happened upon this verse today ...

Isaiah 46:4 

I am he, I am he who will sustain you.

I have made you and I will carry you; 

I will sustain you and I will rescue you. 

I needed that reminder. He made me. He will carry me. He will sustain me. He will rescue me. Good stuff.

I found myself lying, staring at the ceiling and this song popped into my head. I haven't heard it in forever so I'm calling this a God reminder.

I need words

As wide as sky

I need a language large as 

This longing inside

and I need a voice 

Bigger than mine 

And I need a song to sing You

That I've yet to find 

I need you, Oh I need You 

I need You, Oh I need You

To be here now...

That's what I need in this moment. I just need You to be here now. I need to know that You are in control. I need to be reminded that You've got this. I need to know that my friends are joining me in prayer and asking You to show up and most of all I need to believe that You will. You will not abandon me. You will be with me every step of the way. 

This verse is quickly becoming my new life verse ... but I need to remind myself of it yet again. 

Isaiah 41:13 

That's right. Because I your God, have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go. I'm telling you, 'Don't panic. I'm right here to help you." 

Right now some things are happening that feel so strongly out of control. What a good promise that I don't have to panic. He is not letting go of me. He is going to help me. And as we know .... 

2 Corinthians 12:9

My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in your weakness. 

His grace is enough. He is enough. 

Will you join me in praying friends? Pray that God will show up. Pray that God will get the glory no matter what the circumstance. Pray that we will find rest in knowing that He is God alone.
