find You on my knees

trouble's chasing me again
breaking down my best defense
i'm looking, 

God, I'm looking for you

weary just won't let me rest
and fear is filling up my head
i'm longing,
God, I'm longing for you

This is how I felt when I woke up this morning.
Defeated.
Weary.
Full of anxiety and worry and stress.
Physically exhausted.

On my drive to work today, I said to God,

"Lord, I just want someone in my life who will fight for me, who will stand up for me when I'm feeling used and abused, who will calm my heart when my mind won't stop racing."

And He whispered, "I AM. I do fight for you. More fiercely than any human ever could. You only have to ask."

It wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for, but it was a good and true reminder that I will cling to...cause it's all I've got!

but i will find You in the place I'm in
find You at my end
find You when there's nothing left of me to offer You
except for brokenness
You lift me up
You never leave me thirsty
when i am weak
when i am lost and searching
i'll find You on my knees

That is a great song. And true!

You are in a unique position to let God be your everything. And that is hard. But also so, so good. It is harder in some ways, when you have a husband, to depend on God exclusively. I am thankful that He is all we need, in every stage of life, at every age, in every situation.
