Your Hands

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me
They hold me still

"Your Hands" -JJ Heller

I love the lyrics to this song. They speak directly to my heart. It's as if they were written for me for this exact time in my life.

I have unanswered prayers--sometimes God's response to prayer is silence, He is teaching me to wait

I have trouble I wish wasn't there-oh how I wish my health troubles were not here!

I have asked a thousand ways, that you would take my pain away-as I lay curled up in pain with tears streaming down my face, I have asked this repeatedly.  This is one of the hardest concepts for me to understand, but I know He works all things for good.

I am trying to understand how to walk this weary land-my husband and I struggle every day to figure out how to walk through this hard time in our lives. We are weary, the landscape is sparse and dry and each step feels like a struggle.

Your hands that shaped the world are holding me-God, the Great Creator, the One who spoke all things into existence, the all powerful, omnipotent, omniscient, God. He holds my little speck of a life, a life that sometimes feels worthless to me (but not to Him), a life that is often a mess, He holds my life in His hands. mind.blown.

Music speaks to me. I know that not everyone shares that feeling, but my favorite form of worship is through music. I truly believe God speaks through music and sends the right songs at the right time to those of us who are listening.

Blessings,
