I want to raise my hands to the sky and touch Him and thank Him for the grace that He so freely gives. Beginning in the first verse, we tell Him that without Him we fall apart, and our rest is found in Him. Oh so true, we can rest in Him, lay all our cares at His feet, for He is more than able and willing to take them. And then we confess: I need You, oh I need You, every hour I need You. Oh how we need Him. I cannot imagine a day without Him. Have you ever thought about how life would be? Maybe you&#8217;re a new Christian and you remember how it was. But it never has to be that way again!<\/p>\n<p>Verse two talks about our freedom in Jesus. Think about this for a minute&#8230;can you name some ways this is true? I believe He sets us free from sin and darkness. We never have to be anything more than His. He sets us free from destruction and from the unhappiness that our lives were. He is our Hope and our Protector. When life gets too much, we can fall at His feet and He will carry us until we are ready to take another step.<\/p>\n<p>Every minute, every hour He is there. Our need for Him never goes away. We have a &#8220;need love&#8221; for God and it&#8217;s hard sometimes to admit that we are not able to do it all, that we need Him always. So let&#8217;s worship Him today in song. Let&#8217;s express to Him how much we need Him and how He gives us such hope and rest and that we fall in love with Him over and over again. \u00a0And let&#8217;s thank Him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">* ~ \u2665 ~ \u271e ~ \u2665 ~ *<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dearest Lord, You are our hope and stay. We cannot stand without Your help. In You we find rest and in You we are whole. Lord, thank You for guiding our hearts and for being that soft place to land. You love us no matter what. Thank You for listening to our confessions and giving us grace for every moment that we are breathing. Thank You for Your forgiveness that is always there. And for the rest that You created for us, knowing we would need it. We love You and praise You.
