Help!
you are the one; there's no one else
who lifts me up
and gives me water from the well
but there's a hole
that seems to drain it all away
and once again i'm left in fear and doubt
when all my strength is crying out
so here i am again
willing to be opened up and broken
like a flower in the rain
tell me what have i to do
to die and then be raised
to reach beyond the pain
like a flower in the rain
the evil wind, it blows a storm
to rock my world
just when i think i'm safe and warm
i'm led astray far too easily
it's always hard for me to say i'm wrong
until i know i can't go on
lord, you have searched me
and know when i sleep and when i rise
you're familiar with all my ways
even the darkness will shine like the day
when you look into my heart
so here i am again
willing to be opened up and broken
like a flower in the rain
tell me what have i to do
to die and then be raised
to reach beyond the pain
like a flower in the rain
why do i go on these binges? why do i continue to struggle on my own? trying to do everything my way?! in my own strength?
i can't keep this up. it will kill me.
HELP!!!!!!

thank you, solomom.
*sweet sigh* how refreshing it is to know that god gets it.
the praise. the worship. the panic attacks when uncertainty slams ya in the face. the angry rants when we can't understand the where's or why's. the tears of sorrow and despair when we feel engulfed in darkness. he gets it. reminds me of what p. craig said a few weeks ago "i want that."
how amazing that he loves us regardless of what our reality is currently. even more so, he wants us to be straight up real. how amazingly freeing is that?!
thanks for the reminder, my friend.
