Now what?

Sometimes life can be so disappointing. I'm not gonna lie, I'm super bummed about a certain situation right now. But for once in my life, I'm going to count it all joy. God has definitely proven to me through the years that He knows what He's doing (funny, right, that God has to prove anything to anyone!).

The words to this song have always meant something to me, pretty much since the first time I ever heard them:

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that's within me feels dry

This is my prayer in my hunger and need

My God is the God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trial or pain

There is a faith proved of more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flame

This is my prayer in the battle

When triumph is still on its way

I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ

So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise, I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

All of my life, in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

And this is my prayer in the harvest

When favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be emptied again

The seed I've received I will sow
