Steady My Heart

   I haven't posted in a while, but this song is really on my heart today.  Here is the beauty of the way that our Lord loves us.  Things may seem hopeless and you may feel like everything is slipping away from you...like you're spinning out of control...but He is there.  He hold us in the PALM of His hands.  

   I find comfort in the fact that 1. He holds us all the time and 2. that my God is big enough to hold me in the PALM of His hands.  If our God is that big, don't you think He is big enough to take care of our tiny problems...even our big ones?  He is big enough to give us peace, hope, and comfort in times where we feel all alone.  He never leaves us.  He is always there.  

   He knows the big picture...we only see one snapshot.  It's like watching a movie 5 minutes at a time.  He is the director and He knows the final outcome, we only see the 5 minutes at a time.  Maybe we have the same outcome in our minds as He really has planned, He just has a different way of getting there.  His way may be more painful and not so easy, but its the best for us.  His way is always the best way even if it leads to the same place. Praise Him through the storm because the storm He may allow you to go through may lead to the same rainbow. As Christians we are to rejoice in our sufferings/trials of any kind.  In Romans 5:3-5, Paul says: 

"..we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."  

   He knows.  Rest in that.  He steadies our hearts when they feel completely shaken and broken.

Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy?
Why is pain a part of us?
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so much
But You're here
You're real
I know I can trust You
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
'Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart
I'm not gonna worry I know that You've got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment
What's good and what gets broken
Happens just the way You plan

You are here
You're real
I know I can trust You
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
'Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart
And I will run to You
And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
'Cause of everything You are
You steady my heart
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
'Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart
I'm not gonna worry
I know that you've got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
