symphony

Here it is! The smile, the hope, the peace I’ve been wanting for hours. Not located in reading. Searching.

Finally found in the song I woke with yesterday at 3:39 a.m. ♪Sometimes it’s hard to breathe All these thoughts they shout at me… Darkness echos all around Feels like everything is crashing down Still I know where my hope is found And it’s only You… 

♪Even in the madness There is peace Drowning out the voices all around me Through all of this chaos You are writing a Symphony… Tune my heart to Your beat Let me be Your melody Even when I cannot see But You orchestrate it

♪Even when the darkness surrounds You’ll never let me drown I know that my hope is found in the name of Jesus You say You’re working everything for my good I believe every word♪

(7:52 a.m.)

Father, thank You that I get to come before You. Singing. Hoping. Asking. Seeking. Knocking (Matthew 7:7).

I want to believe that You DO know the plans You have for me. And that they are for good and not for evil. To give me a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Use me as You know is Your absolute best.

Romans 5:3-5

James 1:2-4

I woke up welcoming the Holy Spirit. Inviting Him to ♪Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere Your glory Lord is what our hearts long for To be overcome by Your presence Lord♪

Feeling disjointed. Without a plan. I can barely muster a hope. And therein lies the hope! Yes!

“That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (2 Corinthians 4:16-17).

There’s that glory I woke up singing about!

“So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (v. 18).

Mm, yes Dearest God. Use the things I cannot see in renewing my spirit. Tuning my heart to Your beat. Creating the symphony You have for me.

I love, need, trust and want You, Blessed Lord. Do all You must in, with, by, through and for me. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
