There’s nothing worth more

That will ever come close

No thing can compare.

You’re our living hope

Your presence, Lord.

 

I’ve tasted and seen

of the sweetest of love

Where my heart becomes free

and my shame is undone

Your presence, Lord.

 

Holy Spirit you are welcome here

Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

Your glory God is what our hearts long for

to be overcome by your presence Lord

Your presence, Lord.

 

Let us become more aware of your presence

Let us experience the glory of your goodness

 

We deal with so many interruptions in our daily living. Sometimes these interruptions are from God…

what is He trying to say and do with us in these moments?

 

Know that no matter how deep the pit is that “You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless… It won’t be quick… But God will use this mess for something good. In the meantime, don’t be foolish or naïve. Don’t give up. With God’s help, you will get through this.” -Max Lucado

 

 

All this pain

I wonder if I’ll ever find my way

I wonder if my life could really change

at  all

 

All this earth

Could all that is lost ever be found

Could a garden come up from this ground

at all

 

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things

out of the dust

 

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things

out of us

 

All a-round

Hope is springing up from this old ground

Out of chaos life is being found

in You

 

You make me new,

You are making me new

You make me new,

You are making me new

Father we’re grateful for the opportunity to be reminded again that we are not the only ones who find ourselves unexpectedly at the bottom of a pit. Father I ask that you would use that story of Joseph’s life to encourage those who hear their own story in that message. As that encourages them may they be challenged to put their faith not in climbing out of the pit or not in over powering those who would put them in a pit, but that they would put their trust in you a God who will overcome any pitfall in this life and bring us through it just as you brought Jesus through this world and its trials and sorrows to a point of triumph at your side. My prayer is that you would bring us to your side as well despite what we encounter in this world. Bring us peace father knowing that you will bring us through when we find ourselves broken when we find ourselves wondering how we can ever be of use again. Sometimes because of the activity of others, sometimes because Lord own stupidity. Use this father. Recreate us into something that useful to you, that it might bring honor and glory to your name. Regenerate us. Renew us. Recycle us God. Give us a redo as we serve you.

In Jesus Name, Amen
