Do you ever want to question God?

Another one of my favorite songs...one that totally voices what I am feeling at this time in my life:

Lord You seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now
That it's hard for me to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart

Chorus:
I will sing I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You
Because Your Word is true
I will sing

Lord it's hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans You have for me
But I will put my trust in You
Knowing that You died to set me free
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give grace
With all that's in my heart

Lord may I leave my life more and more in your hands and trust your will as best for my life! I love you Lord Jesus!

For my dear sister (in law)...I am praying for you!

Sometimes we don't know why the Lord does what He does or why He allows certain things to happen in our lives or the lives of those we love. Many time we, like Job, question God asking why...why us?
But one thing I know that through the love of Christ we will be able to carry on. Through the great gift and sacrifice of our Heavenly Father we are able to get through the hard times. Yes I know that this is all easy for me to say but I know we serve the same Lord Jesus and His love is the same everywhere.
Melissa this song is for you...I hope that it will help and encourage you as much as it has helped me. Hold on to the love of Christ because through it you and your Mom and your whole family will soar like the eagle for He will carry you through!

Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I’ve found in You
Lord I’ve come to know
The weakenesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love

~ chorus ~
Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I’ll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me
Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the power of Your love

(repeat chorus twice)

And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

I love you sister! Prayers are always with you!
