Thankful

Faithful- Brooke Fraser

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave

I wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might

I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here

But the comfort of you near is what I long for

[CHORUS]

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same

When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray

And I want you more than I want to live another day

And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone

I still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right

So I whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tongue,

knowing you're the only one who knows me

You know me

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]

Show me how I should live this

Show me where I should walk

I count this world as loss to me

You are all I want

You are all I want

God is like a wind that comes into your life; you don't know where it comes from or where it is going but only that life will be great!

Somehow, this week I lost my fervor for life. I went through my routine trying to hold my energy level at the same as normal. Tired, I hit the weekend finally. It was then that God made me aware of the reason for my weeks exhaustion; I had forgot Him. My effort for overflowing joy of course fell short, and was the reason for my exhaustion. No one can keep a facade going and not be tired.
My God, my energy and joy, grant me grace.
I feel like the people of Israel in the book of Nehemiah. I want to cry, read the word and remember everything that You have done for me. I am so thankful that God, you extend grace every time I forget that You are my reason for everything. Restore my passion and fill me with love. I want to live in a way that reflects my dependence on you. Thank you for your faithfulness.

None but Jesus- Hillsong United
In the quiet
In the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored
When You call I won't refuse
Each new day again I'll choose
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise
In the chaos in confusion
I know You're sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will
When You call I won't delay
This my song through all my days
All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope
All of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord
Forever more
