failure,
deepen my surrender
these are your words
your hands
your eyes
your voice
the desert is a dry place
water is not the solution
surrender is.
Something is to be learned
from the trial.
Not the relief
not the removal of the pain.
My Grace is enough
when its hard
it is enough
My Grace is enough
when it hurts
it is enough
My Grace is enough
when all I can do
is say
Your Grace is enough.
and blessed is he who is not offended by me.
song: hymn (Brooke Fraiser)
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” Isaiah 6:5-7
reveal to me your love God
im not even sure what im asking for
the thought of your glory
the thought of knowing your love
overwhelms me.
youve known my heart since the beginning
but im a child
unknowing and delighted in simple things
but when you reveal your love
identity is found
the cost is made clear; Jesus.
from where we came
we will never return
to the garden
but a kingdom awaits
no innocence is lost on the journey
the price has already been paid
fight my feet to stand
hands lifted high
glory fall
you are my everything
you are all that we need
unite our hearts.
I have been bludgeoned
black and blue
oppressed
and called less
I surrendered my authority
to sin and to the world
and I became a punching bag
at some point I took a stand
I said
never again
will I be a victim
to this life
or anyone living it
and I have been so busy
defending myself
flinching at any movement
keep your hands up!
watch out for the sucker punch!
It’s coming, its just a matter of time!
People suck.
self.
you fight SO HARD to survive
But God you are my defender
you are justice
you are strength.
No one can compare
no one can overcome you
no one can beat you
not even me.
I am not the hero. You are.
It isn’t Victory without you.
We do not submit to the flesh because it has no authority, it is an empty tank of gas, it will take us no where.
Song: Lion and lamb (Bethel Music)
The enemy would have me believe that today it is up to me to make all this “life” happen but God’s word tells me the opposite. Today we pray truth over the lies that the enemy would have us believe. God creates life and He has every aspect covered.
Song: Miracle (Jesus Culture)
Father God
We come before you right now and we thank you that you have given us this day. It is a gift and we are blessed by every element of it. God you are sovereign we know that you don’t make errors or mistakes and that everything that we experience in our life has seen your eyes. I thank you Lord that regardless of the current circumstances we can rest in know that you have the provision. whatever mountain we are facing Lord you have more than enough resource to meet every need. I thank you Lord that we walk in that assurance. We speak against the lies of the enemy, God you are enough, you are good you are in control,and as the lion roams around to consume us, you are our defender. God, we do not fear our own inadequacies, we do not fear the judgement of man, because our fear of you is so much greater. Lord, you are greater then all things, and you are on our side. God I love you, I love that you are mighty and that I can lean back into you. I love that I can fall and you are there to scoop me up. Father I love that I am your daughter. Continue to direct my eyes and heart to your truth. Thank You Lord, thank You for salvation and for the relationship it has restored. Bless this day God. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
