Really??????????

God,

Everything about the situation just feels so helpless.
I have put everything I can into it.
I've Loved, I've Waited, I've had Self-Control, I've resisted temptation.
I've rejoiced, i've cried, i've prayed, i've pleaded, i've fasted, i've screamed.
I've been happy, sad, content, at peace, furious, confused, mad.
What else can I do?



It feels like my prayers have been useless.
Like my cries weren't heard and my plea's were ignored.
Have you forgotten your promise to me?
Did I do something wrong?
Am I supposed to just give up?



I've relinquished any control I had over the situation.
I don't even desire to control it anymore.
I've completely given the situation to you.
What else am I supposed to do?


Is victory coming?
Were your promises true?
Do your plans change?

I've believed and had faith, Lord.
I've acknowledged and submitted.
I've listened, I've questioned, I've asked, I've sought.

When will the harvest time come?
When is the season of joy going to arrive?
I'm tired, i'm exhausted.
I'm holding on to your promises with everything I have.
But it seems like this trial is going to never end.

Are the tears, pain, and fear going to end?
Are the burdens going to become lighter?
Until that day, I'm holding on to you Lord.

Though my soul is troubled, I am trying not to lose heart.

Am I not good enough?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is it impossible for you, God, to rebuild trust?
Is it impossible for you, God, to redeem?

Are his ears unable to hear your voice?
Are his eyes unable to see your will?
Is his mind controlled by the Father of Lies?
Is his heart hardened to your will?
Has he given up on your promises?

Is his resisting your guidance and your spirit?
Does he not have faith in your name?
Does he not believe in a God of Resurrection, a God who brings things back to life, a God who rises from the dead, a God who does the impossible?
Does he not believe in grace and compassion?

Am I stupid?
Should I give up on Love?
Is that even possible?

Well some words for you my friend...

Don't give up on love and throw it all away.
Don't give up on love and let it fall away.
When did it become so easy to run from your pain?
Don't give up on love and throw it all away.

I heard you say you can't change a stubborn heart.
I can relate 'cause that's how I feel when I talk with you.

But, Why should it take losing everything to realize it might be time to change?
Your restless heart won't win
'cause you take but you don't give.
And you'll keep moving on until you learn what love is.

I know because I've been there....

Do you believe our God is faithful!?! THEN PROVE IT!!!!
Do you believe our God is the Redeemer!?!! THEN PROVE IT!!!!
Do you believe that God keeps his promises!?! THEN PROVE IT!!!!
Do you believe that God is a God of Reconciliation!?! THEN PROVE IT!!!!
Do you believe that you can trust in our God!?! THEN PROVE IT!!!!
Do you believe that your God is faithful!?! THEN PROVE IT!!!!
Do you believe that God loves you as much as his own child!?! THEN PROVE IT!!!!

Don't claim to believe in this God with your words and deny him with your actions!!!! All you're doing his hurting yourselves and others.

Get a grip! Realize what you're doing and TRUST!
