You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine.
When we’re in the midst of depression and desperation it’s so easy to be angry at God. It’s so easy to feel weak and alone. Sometimes as a Christian I feel as if everything should go the right way, happily ever after every step of the way, no heart break or sadness. In this world though there are going to be times of brokenness. Financial trouble, divorce, the loss of a child, a friend leaving your life, the love of your life walking away from you but this is a vital time to realize that you are precious, that you are worth something., that even though things look grim God has a magnificent plan. By giving him control, by honoring, by serving him, by pursuing him he will put favor upon your life. He will not leave you to fight alone but through the holy spirit you have power within that will stand through every single battle, every single storm. It’s so easy to let the flesh take control and let emotions overcome but let the spirit lead you from the temptation to give into fear. There may be moments where you break down, where you cry your eyes out, where you’re full of anger and frustration but resist the temptation to let it control you and instead lay it down at the feet of the cross. This will not be an easy decision, this will not change things immediately but when you continue to make this choice, a peace will come, blessings will come, and things you didn’t even imagine will happen. Doors will open. And never be afraid to take a step of faith when something comes along. Take a chance, do what the rest of world wouldn’t do. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself help someone else, be a blessing. Today I still feel broken and I honestly wouldn’t mind sitting at home crying my eyes out and eating my body weight in ice cream but all that would leave me with is puffy eyes and feeling fat. Jesus didn’t die on the cross for me to live like that. He died so I could live life. So here’s to choosing the cross no matter what the current situation life is in.
So today look in the mirror and say, I'm beautiful, I'm amazing, I'm confident, I'm strong, I'm successful, I'm redeemed, I'm alive, I'm blessed. Whatever doubts are in your heart about yourself do not let them define you.
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12
