Breathe on me
Holy Ghost power
Breathe on me
Yesterday's gone
Today I'm in need
Holy Ghost power
Breathe on me
This is one of the praise and worship songs we sang this morning in church. It has been sticking with me all day. Especially this line: "Yesterday's gone, Today I'm in need". This could be my daily prayer. Today I am in need. Everyday I am in need. Breathe your mercy, your love, your grace, your forgiveness, and your strength on me. Let me be consumed by your presence. Today, tomorrow, and always.
I have been playing around with putting up and "about me" page on this blog. But I am not sure exactly what I want to say. I am a work in progress. When I started this blog I had no plan for where I was headed with it, but I had a vague notion, and this wasn't it. I never expected to talk about some of the things I have shared here. Like my bad days. Sometimes I worry that I am undermining my confession of faith by sharing so much of my darkness. But I feel compelled at times. I can only think that someone out there needs to know that you can believe and still struggle with depression and anxiety. You can still walk in faith, even when fear dogs your steps. I don't know, maybe I just wrote it. What do you think?

I found this quote over at Inside a Rooth-less Mind: “No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.”― Eleanor Roosevelt

ReplyDeleteThis. This right here will help someone in their struggles. I've found just by living my life as best I can that people have been persuaded away from preconceived notions. It's also the best way to convince me of just about anything.
What a wise and profound statement and purpose.
oh, thank you for the encouragement. I really needed that.
DeleteOne of the images that has stuck with me and gotten me through my doubts and dark times is a poster that was on the wall of my church youth house in college. It was of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemene, it was captioned something similar to considering he had his doubts, why can't you. Being honest is good.
ReplyDeletethank you! That is just what I needed to hear.
