stay with me

have you ever been at a time in your life when everything is going wrong and you just wish God would snap his fingers and fix everything? im at the breaking point. i know that i need to wait on God's timing, not my own, i just feel completely out of strength and fight. this song is what is getting me through this time. i just bought the new barlow girl cd and the song stay with me was exactly what i needed right now when feeling as desperate for God as I am.

Hope is getting through this night | And life is not dying in this fight | Begging You to deliver me Confused why You won’t take this pain from me My steps never felt so hard | The end never looked so far but | If You won’t take me out | then please take me through this | Chorus | Stay with me So I won’t leave | And make me see | That this is not forever | ‘Cause all I need is Your love pulling me What is the reason for this night? | Is hope found in moments with no light? | Does strength grow in our greatest fears? | God I pray something good will come from this pain | My steps never felt so hard | The end never looked so far but | If you won’t take me out | then please take me through this | Chorus | With you here I know | I don’t go alone | I am yours and so | Through the fire I’ll go | My steps never felt so hard | The end never looked so far but | If you won’t take me out then please take me through this | Chorus 2x

how awesome is this..."if you won't take me out then please take me through this". that's my prayer right now. i'm dealing with all of this stuff now for a reason. it is completely beyond me and has been taking every ounce of strength i have but i know God is there with me and in control no matter how impossible the situation seems at the moment.

then please take me through this. stay with me.

john 20:23

"if you forgive someone's sins, they're gone for good. if you don't forgive sins, what are you going to do with them?" -john 20:23

how true is that. if you don't forgive sins what will you do with them? it will eat you up but it isn't affecting the other person. i know i need to forgive but my anger is taking hold of me. i want to forgive but i don't know how to get over this. i pray for the anger to fade and for me to be able to forgive and instead love. like the verse says, if you don't forgive sins what are you going to do with them? what will i do with them - nothing...time to forgive.
