My answer is You, Lord
The One that I need
When I can’t see the solution
When I’m clenching my teeth
The Answer is you, Lord
When the waves start to rise
When the wind whirls within me
And I’m fighting with pride
My answer is you, Lord
When I’m losing the shore
When I’m bailing like mad
And my heart hits the floor
My answer is simple
I turn my eyes to You and say:
“Fix my eyes Lord
and hold me
Don’t let me get away!”
You’ve turned my laughter to crying
But you wanted it so
You’re a Teacher
And a Father
You intend for me to grow
So my answer is Jesus
When the day seems a fight
For tomorrow’s a new day
And the end is in sight.

“When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.” –Mark 6:34 ❤
I have a new favorite verse. ❤
REST in the WRESTLING
Wrestling
I hate wrestling
The Spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
Thoughts churn
They tumble round and round
Feelings
Emotions
Highs
Lows
Joy
Pain
Wrestling
I hate wrestling
The Spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
The heart aches
It fights with all it’s might
Knowledge
Thoughts
Misunderstanding
Clueless
Pride
Confession
Humbling
Prayer
Rest
Thank God that we don’t have to figure it all out. ❤ There is rest even in the wrestling.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” — Phillipians 4:6-7
Nice!!!!! So thankful for rest and that God always holds the answer to our problems!!!
Thank you! Yeah… I guess sometimes God has to wrestle things out of us. I’m glad that He does, but it’s definitely an ongoing process. Yes, He sure is that guiding light. A very compassionate guiding light. ❤ I'm thankful for that too. 🙂
