In 2013 I am finding myself less interested in most everything except prayer and meditating on His Word and the wonder of His glory. It's no great revelation or anything new. Just a simple desire to be right with God in all things and to not just have more of Him and less of me, but my life to be all of Him and none of me. It's a call to total surrender, something I don't know if I have ever really done. In prayer and thoughtful repose I keep getting the sense that layer by layer God keeps showing me what I have held back from Him.
When I pray I like to put on a Pandora radio station I have labeled as Hymns for Worship. This beautiful song came across my path the other day and just cut through all of the confusion of life, ministry, church, marriage, family, my humanity.
I came home tonight from Bible study. We just concluded three and a half months of teaching and exploring the subject of prayer. It was a pitiful crowd in number, but those in attendance were eager and hungry to learn. I had mixed emotions coming home. My wife stayed home with a sick son and my daughter had already made it home from youth group. I walked into the house, feeling melancholy, sat down and logged on to YouTube hoping to find this song. Gratefully I did. I sat in a dark living room and let the music and the words of this song bathe my weary spirit.
I hope it encourages you and gives you the hope it has given and gave me tonight:
