Give it to God….

I love songs that touch your heart. It’s amazing how music can do that. Today I was thinking about how stressful this world can be. Sometimes we think that what we are going through is the worst thing ever. We tend to worry about things we can’t change. I want to tell you something that happen a couple years ago. I was going through a very stressful time in my life and I thought it couldn’t get worse! I was in my kitchen crying and thinking that I didn’t have anyone. I was so alone but then I remember what a wise person(Wendy Swaby) at church always said to our Sunday School Class. She said “Give it to God”. I never fully understood what she was saying. I always thought that “You can’t do that”. But that night I did! I started praying HARD! Right then and there, I just started praying up to the Lord out loud and all the sudden….it was almost like magic. A peace came over me, it was the weirdest feeling! I just stopped crying and knew everything would be ok. That God would take care of us. Isn’t that amazing!

There is a new song by Carrie Underwood is called So Small. It talks about how love is all that matters and how it makes everything else seem so small that we are dealing with. Here are the lyrics and you will see how it applies to everyone.

 What you got if you ain’t got love
the kind that you just want to give away
its okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it’s hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
but don’t run out on your faith

’cause sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you’ve been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small

it’s so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it’s like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
while you siting ’round thinking ’bout what you can’t change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time’s flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count ’cause you cant get it back

sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you’ve been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small

sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you’ve been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else…
oh it sure makes everything else seem so small
Yeah, Yeah

Here are some bible verses that have help me through difficult times!

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17)

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.Psalms 37:5

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. (Psalm 32:7-8)

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4)

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Psalm 61:1-4)

As the song says above…Don’t run out on your faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
