Through our own desert praise him

You know, there are times in our lives where we feel dry...our prayers seem to be
hitting the ceiling and falling back down on our heads. We get caught up in our own
pain, our own struggles. Even through our trails, we are to worship God...our creator, our Father. Sing to him when we don't feel like it! Praise God while we walk through our own desert...you will get through it!
This song has touched my life:

Hillsong
This Is Our God


DESERT SONG

VERSE 1:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE DESERT
WHEN ALL THAT'S WITHIN ME FEELS DRY
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN MY HUNGER AND NEED
MY GOD IS THE GOD WHO PROVIDES

VERSE 2:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE FIRE
IN WEAKNESS OR TRIAL OR PAIN
THERE IS A FAITH PROVED OF MORE WORTH THEN GOLD
SO REFINE ME LORD THROUGH THE FLAME

CHORUS:
I WILL BRING PRAISE, I WILL BRING PRAISE
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL REMAIN
I WILL REJOICE, I WILL DECLARE
GOD IS MY VICTORY AND HE IS HERE

VERSE 3:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE
BATTLE
WHEN TRIUMPH IS STILL ON HIS WAY
I AM A CONQUEROR AND CO-HEIR WITH CHRIST
SO FIRM ON HIS PROMISE I'LL STAND



BRIDGE:
ALL OF MY LIFE IN EVERY SEASON
YOU ARE STILL GOD
I HAVE A REASON TO SING
I HAVE A REASON TO WORSHIP



VERSE 4:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE HARVEST
WHEN FAVOR AND
PROVIDENCE FLOW
I KNOW I'M FILLED TO BE EMPTIED AGAIN
THE SEED I'VE RECEIVED I WILL SOW

Open Hands

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you..'

Be careful what you ask for!

Well, yesterday I found out that my job is going away! It is a commission based job and I haven't made much in the past 2 months anyway. At first I was worried and not sure what to do, but now I have a peace! I know that I've been praying that God would place me where ever I am supposed to be! If this isn't the place to close the door and open wide the door that I am to walk through...a week later, I'm told that this position is going away! Hm! Imagine that! lol
Now I am thankful and KNOW that I am about to be blessed beyond belief!
My thought for the day is: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR IF YOU AREN'T READY TO RECEIVE IT! :p
