A Prayer (song of healing)

On April 30th at midnight, I was just sitting in my bedroom thinking about some stuff and out of nowhere I got some inspiration to write a song.
I wrote it as a prayer to God and when I looked at it after I was finished I was like "wow.....someone, somewhere might be praying this".
This is actually the first "Prayer-like" song that I have ever written and it's not half bad. It's still being tweaked, but here is what I have so far.

A Prayer
by Liz Hitt

Dear God,
It's me again
I don't know why I keep failing You
You deserve so much more than what I can give
My life is a mess
I keep trying so hard to do things on my own
I just dig a deeper hole than before You were in control

Chorus:
Take my heart of stone
And make it Yours
I've lost the will to go on anymore
Only You can heal
Mend and fix
This broken life
And make it real

Dear God,
No one likes me
Or if they do well it's hard to notice
Where is the love that I once felt?
That love of no condition, no regrets, but of compassion
Oh I give up
I am running back to where that love was this whole time
I need You
And in You my life is restored, renewed and reborn

(chorus)


I don't know why God put these words on my heart, but I am glad that He did because hopefully it will mean something to someone. It will give comfort to someone who is hurting. It will give them hope that God is going to redeem them back to Himself and heal their broken lives and make them real.
As I said before, I am still tweaking this song, but what you just read was the un-tweaked version of it :)

I would love to hear your input on it.

Have a blessed day!

Struggles

Struggles.....we all have them. Whenever we hear that word we automatically think of something negative that someone is going through.

As of right now my biggest struggle is getting back to God and His will for my life instead of repeating bad habits. The worst part about it is that I realize that those habits are wrong, but I still do them.....and I keep drifting away from the love of God that I came to know as a child and the peace that He alone brings me when He holds me in His arms.

The best feeling that I have ever felt was when God held me when I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. I felt safe and I felt like everything was going to be ok because God said that it was.

I am so glad that God doesn't give up on us, because if He did I would NOT be here. None of us would.

Even though nothing bad comes from God, I personally believe that He lets circumstances happen to people to show them that they need to turn back to Him and depend on Him and nothing and no one else. I mean look at the story of Job. God let Satan take away everything that Job had in order to test his faith in Him.

I seriously need God to break me. I know that probably sounds insane and that I will probably regret asking for it, but I need it.
The greatest thing about being broken by God, is that He picks up the pieces and fixes us again. God brings us back to Himself for His glory and for our benefit.

With that said I am asking for prayer to overcome the struggles that I am facing. I would greatly appreciate them and I am willing to pray for you about anything if you need me to.

God Bless,
