Tear Me Apart

Give Me your weakness 

The past you can't hide

Lend Me the strings

That hold up your pride

You fear that 

By letting go

People will see

People will know

Oh child, let them gaze

At your raw imperfection

Let them witness 

My Healing affection

For when you allow

Me to tear you apart

It is then that I

Give you a fresh start

Seek the Promises

Fear and worry drive us.

We can't go a day without it. Sure, we "bring" our fears and worries to God, but then what does that really do? Give us peace until we worry about the next thing?

Over and over and over again God gives us His promises. He promises blessings to those who fear Him, victory to the oppressed, comfort for the lonely. He is here, promising promising, "Child, just come to ME." and yet we leave Him for things we think will keep us safe.

Stop. Listen to the promises! Quit worrying for one second and study what he is telling us!

"Come to ME and I will give you rest."
{Matthew 11:28}

"Trust in ME and you will be kept in perfect peace!"
{Isaiah 26:3}

"I will FIGHT for you, you need only to be STILL."
{Exodus 14:14}

"I will SATISFY your desires with good things!"
{Psalm 103:5}


"Because you LOVE Me, I will RESCUE you!"
{Psalm 91:14}

"I will be YOUR hiding place, I will deliver you!"
{Psalm 32:7}

"I will turn your WAILING into DANCING."
{Psalm 30:11}

Stop.
Today.
Look at His promises.
