Desert Song.

Yesterday was a hard day I spent a large chunk in tears but with little energy I went to the Prison at night for Celebrate Recovery. The first thing we did was worship and the first song was desert song. I couldn't believe how much I needed to hear those words. As it came to last verse however I thought of something I hadn't before.

"This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow"

 I was thinking about how dry I was, and have been for some time. It reminded me that the harvest will come, and whether I remain dry for some more time or am filled again soon that God is with me and I can rely on Him for my strength in each situation. When it feels like people take more than I have to give, that it is God in me strengthening me each day, for each situation. 

As I left the prison I had a bit more energy, I had been filled enough to get through those moments and the rest of the night. I was still quite exhausted from the sadness of the day but as I woke in the morning I knew God had given me exactly what I needed.

"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31.
