The Struggle…LOL

Overwhelmed.

Your love never fails
It never gives up
It never runs out on me


On and on it goes 

 It overwhelms and satisfies my soul 

And I never, ever have to be afraid. 

 Because this one thing remains.


In death, in life, 
I’m confident and covered by the power of Your great love 

My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can separate my heart from your great love


Letting go of my pride
I lay down my desires 
Just to worship in Spirit and truth 
More than all of my dreams 
More than fame I will seek You Lord

These are lyrics to ‘One Thing Remains’ and ‘Unending Love’ which are a few songs yesterday during worship. Worship was just awesome yesterday but I felt so overwhelmed. 
This whole job hunt thing and getting rejected continually has started to take it’s toll on me. I have to continually pray that I would hold on to the promises of God, but it gets harder and harder. I’ve felt like I have no direction as to where to go and what to do. Everytime I feel like something might happen, it doesn’t. I’ve felt like I’ve been on a verge of a mental breakdown as of late. The last thing that I have been clinging to is Christ. I have not been trusting him and as much as I want to it’s been the hardest thing for me to do. I know that he provides, he’s done it over and over again. But, I just felt like he’s not going to. I’ve just felt so far from his love and provision the last probably month or so.
I’ve been praying lately that I would just cling on to his truths and promises. And yesterday during worship I just felt like I got reminded in a huge way that God is never going to fail me, he’s never going to give up on me despite the fact that I’ve been believing that he has given up on me.  During this storm, he’s the only thing that remains. Jobs come and go, people come and go, but God will always remain and he’ll never fail and it I was just overwhelmed by that so much yesterday. I don’t remember the last time I’ve cried like that. 
I can’t believe that I doubted God’s provision and his love for me for so long. I definitely got the wake up call I needed that’s for sure.

One of my favorite songs off the album.

Eternal Perspectives.

The last few Sunday’s we’ve been discussing the book Tempted and Tried.  It’s been awesome so far and also very convicting. We’re only about 2 weeks into it. It’s about the temptation of Jesus. Last week we talked about how temptation starts with confusion. Also we talked about that when faced with temptation we forget our identity, which makes perfect sense.

I know that I don’t think of my identity when I’m faced with trails. We usually don’t take a step back and remember our identity in Christ. We never have an eternal perspective when facing trials. Well I know I don’t anyway. I usually am worrying and doubting Christ and his promises when I’m going through a storm. 

I’m going through a really hard time at the moment and my perspective has not really been an eternal one. I’ve been so plagued with worry, doubt, fear and anxiety which is not of from Christ. My thought is basically fearing he won’t provide and he won’t come through even though he does every time.

I want to come to a point where I think of the eternal perspective and reject the temporary things, which for me is doing what I FEEL is right and not really relying and depending on Christ for guidance. I’m a huge worrier and doubter, those are HUGE struggles for me. And everytime I go through a trial that’s what I seem to do. If I really had an eternal perspective I’d trust God completely that he’s going to provide.
