Just come to me in your frustrations
Be out with it
No need to fear.
Cause I already know what it is you're going through
All I ask, is you draw near.
Tonight has been a revelation for me. Interestingly enough, the hymn "I need thee" covered by Jason Lavik plays in the background. How true indeed. I need thee Lord I need thee, every hour. My folly is in my pride that says, "I can handle it, it's my burden." When really, the burden I have is just selfishness.
I had a conversation with my mother and the conversation went to the topic of money. Honestly I struggle with wants versus needs. I told my mom that I feel like we're just trying to stay afloat and she told me, "hey, dont you know God provides?"
But what I heard was, "Do you believe that provides?" Whats the diff between knowing and believing? For me one is a matter of the mind (headknowledge) and the other is a matter of the heart (faith in Christ). What a rebuke from the Lord! I was floored. I asked my mom if we could pray and to prevent the tears from flowing, I kept silently praying to myself saying, "Lord, help me be grateful. Help me be greatful."
