hope now...





I love this song...Hope Now by Addison Road. It might be playing now...it's on my player to the right. Lately, I've been singing it in my head all throughout the day, and the lyrics speak to me...

When I call out your name, something inside awakes in my soul...

I’m not my own, I’ve been carried by you all my life...

When the world has broken me down, this love set me free...

You define my heart’s desires. I will sing your praises higher. Your love sets me free...


One more thing...I was reading the blog post for the Life Journal tonight, and I must say, over and over again I feel inadequate as a witness in this world. Self-doubt is the biggest battle I fight. It's the devil...literally. When I read David Hardin's prayer tonight, it confirmed what I already knew...satan breathes his lies into my mind on a daily basis. When I start to believe him and doubt myself, he's winning the battle.

Prayer:
God, help me to learn to pray continually and to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Take away any fears, doubts or shame that might creep into my thoughts about being your witness to a lost world. Teach me to listen for and hear your voice when it speaks and be willing to act, no matter what the cost.

— David Hardin, community missions pastor
