I need You
To soften my heart and 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
And I may be weak but Your Spirit’s strong in me
My flesh may fail, but my God, You never will

He said to them, “…For truly, I say to you,
if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed,
you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 17:20 ESV
When things are going really well, it is so easy to have faith. When there’s money in the bank and food in the pantry, it is easy to believe that God is with you. But what if things are not so easy? Jesus tells us that as long as we have faith like a mustard seed then we can tell a mountain to move and it will! Do you know how small a mustard seed really is?
Sometimes God allows us to go through things so that we can help someone else who is going through the same thing. In this song it says “…soften my heart, break me apart.” I wonder if we really mean this…when the only way for this to happen is for us to go through trials of our own! In those trials, I hear myself saying this,”I need You..to pierce through the dark and cleanse every part of me…all I am…I surrender.”
When we are at our weakest, He is strongest. When we fail, He never will. We need Him in so many ways and we need to have the faith to believe that He is who He says He is. That God is great and God is good. And most of all, He is crazy in love with YOU!
What are you believing Him for today? Or are you in a place of just trying to find Him and believe Him for something that seems impossible? Nothing is impossible with God. Nothing. Believe in Him and know that He is on your side. I leave you with one more verse.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

Dear Lord, You are amazing and awesome. You promise us that when we call, You will answer. That no matter how big the problem, Your answer is enough. Lord, I pray that You comfort those who are hurting today and having a hard time finding You. Reveal Yourself to them today in special ways that only You can. And when it is hard, I pray that we remember the words to this song, and pray it to You as a prayer… “Give me faith to trust what You say…You are good and Your love is great. I give You my life.” In Jesus’ name, amen.
