Im really tired.

Can I carry on?

I think I need a break.

I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

Does Jesus care?

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth and song;
As the burdens press and the cares distress
And the way grows weary and long?

O yes, He cares- I know He cares!

Can I not trust Him?

Jesus Jesus how I've trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more

Did He not say:

Wait on the Lord
Be of good courage
And He shall strengthen thine heart!

The steps of a good man are...

Though dark be the night
And long be the day
Lord help me trust Thee
In thine perfect way

The way seems so bleak and dark..

O why can I not see
Thy hand so firmly guiding me
O how can I untrusting be,
When you are very near, to me!

To desire..

As the deer pants for the water brook
So panteth my soul after Thee
My soul thrists for God, the living God
When shall I come before Thee

O God, You are my God
In earnest I will seek Thee
For in a dry and weary land
My soul and body yearns and thirsts for Thee

Set my heart O dear Father
On Thee, and Thee only
Give me a thirst for Thine presence divine

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life!

That I may, burn out, for Thee.

But why, does God seem so silent?

And its time to trust! Its time to remember
That our Lord is faithful to His own
If we hope we shall yet
Be praising once again
For His silence never means that we're alone.

Where can I find hope in all the trials that you bring?
How can I have joy while suffering loss?
When my soul's in prison how can I find cause to sing?
How did you find peace while on that cross?

As for my God..

How can I make it thru another day
My heart is troubled so
It seems the blessings always pass me by
And stife is all I know

As for my God, His way is perfect!

29 more days.

Whats after that?

Where He leads me, I will follow.. Lead on, my Shepherd, lead on!

---

Can I remain forever weary?
Can I be forever drained and tired?
Can I be ever so consumed in work?
Can I remain discouraged, for the longest time?

I guess not.

For I'm a soldier of the Cross, a follower of the King!

There's so much to do. So many out there, lost, confused, discouaged, w/o the light!

Help me keep on the firing line, Lord.

Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
