This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides
This is my prayer in the fire
And weakness or trial or pain
There is faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me lord through the flames
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on his promise I'll stand
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
And this is my prayer in the harvest
And favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I received I will sow

A Lovely song and an even more inspiring testimony. I guess everybody really does go through their own little sprititual ups and downs, where we feel as though we should be turning away from God and running away whenever we've sinned or whenever circumstance isn't on our side.
It's such a big coincidence, I had this sudden urge to watch this video again and it still never failed to take my breath away at how deep her testimony was? and the fact that the scripture reading that I once mentioned before has to do with this as well. What the person for that day got out of the reading was,' In the middle of trouble, acknowledging God's role in our lives can redirect our thinking from the hurts of our hearts and force us to dwell instead on the greatness of our God' and that ' Praising God's greatness puts hope in our troubled hearts'
Praise can lighten your heaviest burden.
This I have a total faith in, because I am a living testimony of it. Having faith and just totally trusting that he would love you regardless of all that you have done, trusting that he has a plan for you , trusting that he will bring you through whatever you may be going through. Although I have to admit it may be something hard to at times, but it's the best feeling to ever have.
Gah, I guess somehow somewhat this is my own kind of renewal. (:
But to the service team of con camp this year, I heard you've all done a splendid job. So yes, Praise God for that too.
