Writing on the Walls of Hearts

Lord-

Thank you for your faithfulness. Even in situations that feel like they are drowning me, you are there. Thank you for staying right beside me even when I feel sort of helpless. You are greater than my emotions. Thank you so much. You are giving me back the freedom in you. You are beautiful and you have made me see that. Lately I have been quietly and silently agonizing over getting a job. Lord you came through and provided me with one. Part of me wanted it far away from home, but I know that is just my reaction to run from hard things and uncomfortable things. I have been reading Do Hard Things by the Harris brothers, and you have been revealing to me that the hard things I see in front of me are things that you have put there for me to walk through. Right now it is not running but sitting and developing the calling you gave me to teach. Thank you for giving me a gift I love. May you please lead me to a place, a church, to serve and use my passion for you.

Also right now I have been listening to a new song by Todd Agnew called Written on the Wall. This is the chorus: I wish you still spoke through burning bushes. I wish you still wrote on blocks of stone. Cause the sound of this world's deafening, and I'm having a hard time listening. And I wish your will was still written on the wall.

Lord, this morning you surpassed these words and really gave me a word of encouragement. Even though you don't write on blocks of stone walls, you write on the walls of our hearts. Thank you for the words of peace, encouragement, and love that I have read lately on my heart. Thank you for your will, even if I don't know it. You are love and you are the only one that heal my frayed emotions at times. Thank you.

Please reignite the desire for you and your word again in me. My heart gets dulled and tarnished by the values of this culture and world. Please re-polish my heart and emotions to shine you and not the lies and distortions that this world and land write and record into our minds. My head is so full of this culture, that often I forget to talk to you sometimes. Please reapply your beauty. Sure, this culture, I have to live in, but you created me for something greater. Please give me words to write and may it touch lives, even just one. You have more plans than any man could even imagine.

Thank you Lord for your eternal love.

In Your Name,

Amen
