Trust

I recently talked with a friend who was finding that trusting God wasn’t as easy in this phase of life as it has been in the past. She has come to the realization that right now as there is a storm raging around her and life is more full of changes than security that she isn’t quite so sure how to find the strength she has always had in her faith. Stumbling for the light in the dark and searching for the hand hold to pull herself up with. As I listened to her struggles and searched deep for the words of wisdom she needed I realized that I had little to offer. I had no answers to give because I too have been finding myself in a similar spot lately. How do I trust him with a future that is so uncertain? How do I learn to let go of life when I have felt the need to be in control for so long? Trust is hard. However, it is so important…..so to this friend and any of you out there that are finding yourself having the same struggle ...know that I am in the same boat. Even though I have no words of wisdom or easy answers I promise that I will be here holding out my hand offering to share my faith and love with you.

Take my hand and walk with me a while
Cause it seems your smile has left you
And don't give in, when you fall apart
And your broken heart has failed you
I'll set a light upOn a hilltop
To show you my love
For this world to see

You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on'
Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine

Take my love when all that you can see
Is the raging sea all around us
And don't give up 'cause I'm not letting go
And the God we know will not fail us
We'll lay it all down
As we call out
Sweet Savior
help our unbelief

You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on'
Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine

When you are weak
Unable to speak
You are not alone
The God who has saved us
Will never forsake us
he's coming to take us
Take us to our home

You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine

Take my hand
Take my love
Don't give in
Don't give up
