Give Me Faith

I need You to soften my heart
to break me apart
I need You to open my eyes
to see that You’re shaping my life

All I am I surrender

Give me faith to trust what You say
that You’re good and Your love is great
I’m broken inside, I give You my life

I need You to soften my heart
to break me apart
I need You to pierce through the dark
and cleanse every part of me

I may be weak
but Your spirit’s strong in me
My flesh may fail
My God, You never will

My prayer through an extremely hard time was this Bible verse, ”I believe, help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24 ).  This world can be full of so much pain and heartache! And, even though we know God is good and all He gives is good, there are times when we would love to change the details of our lives.  Sometimes we think we know what is best!  And, for a minute, we forget that He loves us so much and only wants what is best for us.  We really don’t know what is best….

This song is my own personal prayer to Him.  When my heart hardens to the world and those who are suffering, I need Him to break it for what breaks His.  A softened heart and a clean heart are what we desire and only God can change our hearts.  There are times when He needs to open our eyes to what HE is doing in our lives and through our trials.  He is shaping our lives as the Potter does to the clay.  All that we go through and endure is forming who we are.  We gain strength and endurance, peace that passes all understanding, and patience when we walk with Him and trust Him in the midst of all that we don’t understand.

The chorus speaks volumes—“All I am. I surrender.  Give me faith to trust what You say, that You’re good and Your love is great.  I’m broken inside, I give You my life.”  Do you trust Him with your life?  He created you and knows you more than you know yourself.  You must trust the God who loves you unconditionally. And when we are broken inside, the only way to make it through is to give Him your whole life.  You cannot do this on your own. We were created to need Him and to have a relationship with Him. You may be weak but He is strong.  You may fail but He will never fail you.

Let this song be your prayer today as well.  We will all be praying it together!  And all God’s people say… AMEN!!

Let us pray; Oh dear God, You are our Stronghold, our Portion.  You are our Strength.   You change our hearts and our lives.  We thank You for loving us so much and for the grace You so freely give.  Lord, I pray that You open our eyes to what You have for us to do and that You will break us so that You can penetrate the cracks in our souls. And when we fail, Lord, You pick us back up and give us the strength to endure. We love You and worship You.  In Jesus’ name, amen!
