Desert Song-Hillsong
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it’s way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow

This song took on new meaning to me today. I was watching this (FYI there are 2 curse words).  I was just filled with so much sadness and just my hope was bleak, I suppose. I was dry and in need of some restoration. This was kind of a stab in the heart (from the Devil, of course) and basically made me think of all the people who think this way of Christians. I felt this was the view the whole world had of me and my fellow brothers and sisters.. Then I got to this part: “And I will bring praise. I will bring praise. No weapon forged against me shall remain. I will rejoice. I will declare. God is my victory and He is here.” If we truly are living out this passage in Galatians 5 where we are truly using the freedom loving each other and fighting sin (ALSO WATCH THIS!!), I do not have to feel guilty about those things because they aren’t applied to me. I do need to feel bad about people giving Jesus a bad wrap, and that is another issue! But God has conquered any weapon that is forged against me! GOD IS MY VICTORY!!!

This was very confusing and I apologize, but it just hit my heart heavy this afternoon and I needed to write about it!!
