  • Never Alone

    BARLOW GIRL LYRICS

    "Never Alone"

    I waited for you today
    But you didn't show
    No no no
    I needed You today
    So where did You go?
    You told me to call
    Said You'd be there
    And though I haven't seen You
    Are You still there?

    [Chorus:]
    I cried out with no reply
    And I can't feel You by my side
    So I'll hold tight to what I know
    You're here and I"m never alone

    And though I cannot see You
    And I can't explain why
    Such a deep, deep reassurance
    You've placed in my life

    We cannot separate
    'Cause You're part of me
    And though You're invisible
    I'll trust the unseen

    [Chorus]

    We cannot separate
    You're part of me
    And though You're invisible
    I'll trust the unseen

    [Chorus]

    Ladies, I'm really struggling here. Struggling with a relationship. I have the very bad habit of over-analyzing every stupid little thing, thinking I see problems where there are none and thereby creating problems that weren't there. This has been a difficult relationship. One that I have "laid down" many times.  I truly truly believe that I have not picked it back up because "I" wanted to.  I have not sought it back out again. God brought it back through circumstances only He could've managed. But then on days like today I think God is mocking me. I beg Him for answers and I get silence and I'm filled with more fear. I don't want to do the wrong thing so I do nothing. And wait. And worry.  I feel like I try so very very hard and I'm never good enough and continually fall flat on my face. Could y'all pray for me?  Pray that I'll stop this pity party. Pray that I'll stop thinking the world revolves around me. Pray that God will show me where I need to change

    Aww, (((Renee)))  I wish I could just wave a magic wand and make things all perfect. Things can get so muddled and complicated in this vastly imperfect life--but I do know that God is still faithful, and HE knows the end from the beginning!  Thousands of years ago, He looked down through time, saw your dilemma, Renee, and He knew the desires of your heart, even then.  He knows your love for him, and he knows the plans he has for you--plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you.  *I* don't know what's right, but HE does, and if you faithfully seek Him, he will reveal it to you.

    I can relate to the feeling.  So many times we have struggled with wanting to know what God really wanted us to do--it's often so very hard to be sure.  One tidbit I have appreciated from Mike Wells is his roadblock theory.  For a difficult life decision, he gives himself to prayer and fasting for a time, then just makes a decision, saying, "Okay, Lord, I want what you want, and I have no desire to do something that is outside your will.  So I'm going to begin this, and if this is not the thing you want for me, then *stop* me.  Put up a roadblock that will make it obvious to me.  I know You are perfectly capable of that and I trust you to make Yourself clear to me!"  his theory is that you need to move so that God can direct you.  It's much harder to steer when you stand still. 

    He has a great story about a time they had been planning to move, and were all packed to leave town, and something drastic happened--a wreck maybe?  don't remember--so they just gave it up.  He had prayed this, and realized that  God had intervened.  Anyway, FWIW, that's my input.  And I would be glad to pray and fast with you.
