Psalm 106:13-14

But they soon forgot what he had done
and did not wait for his counsel.
In the desert they gave into their craving;
in the wasteland they put God to the test.

Heavenly Father

There are times in life that seem empty, barren & bare
& we disconnect from your love & we wonder are you really there.

Struggles abound & an end to our burdens seems fruitless & lost,
& we feel forsaken whilst living in woe when troubles we are being tossed.

Then when we have been pushed to our limits through survival mode human nature kicks in,
& this is where we are put to the test, will we live by Faith & Trust,
or revert to sin?

Our ways have never worked in the past so why would we think they would now,
& it was our ways that led us astray when we relied on ourselves & thought we knew how.

When we follow our own ways that is when we are putting you to the test,
Where as holding firm to your ways, brings salvation & we know we are blessed.

It is always darkest just before the dawn & that is when the sun breaks through,
So to our burdens in our darkest moments, through Faith & Prayer we should reach out to you.

You have never once forsaken us throughout our earthly days,
All you ask is for us to let you have control so you can work your ways.

I pray that I always surrender my Will & hold firm to my faith in you,
& trust that you are there watching over me & guiding me,
until the sun breaks through.

God Bless
