This Cuts Through the Confusion
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:

I listened to the video you posted and it was included at the end. I don't know her. Just wanted to check it out and after listening, thought it would go well with your thread. Praying with you, Deacon!

Wow. This is what the Lord has been asking of me lately too! I've also had friends share with me that the Lord Jesus has been dealing with them in the same way. It seems the Lord Jesus is up to something big. He is asking us if we are ready to surrender all. I don't want to wait until I have nothing left to give. I want to give it willingly, now. Your thoughts struck a chord in my heart, DB.

Re: This Cuts Through the Confusion
I agree, however, I have never heard of Pandora radio.
Thanks for your post.

It's online digital radio. It's free. Every nice in a while there is a short ad, other than that continuous music. Just type in the name of a favorite band, artist and you will get a stream of music similar to the group you selected. You also have the feature to like or dislike a certain song to make sure it comes back frequently or never again.
