LISTENING WOMAN
Do You Hear What I Hear?

The Lenten Journey

Day 15:  Trust Me
I woke up singing Blessed Be Your Name by Matt Redman
Blessed Be Your Name In the land that is plentiful Where Your streams of abundance flow Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name When I'm found in the desert place Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord  Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord 
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name When the sun's shining down on me When the world's 'all as it should be' Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name On the road marked with suffering Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away You give and take away My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name
God has me thinking about when I choose to Praise Him and Trust Him.   I know in my heart it is generally on the days when everything is going like I want it.  Oh, I want to Trust Him when I have no understanding of what is going on.  I want to Trust Him to be all He says He is.  I want to Trust that He can and will do all He says He will do.  
The next step in my Lenten Journey is to know that I can’t trust myself – I’m like Peter in that I think I will stand strong but Jesus knows my weaknesses and my fears.  He is asking me to TRUST HIM in EVERYTHING!
This is my prayer:
