Worship

I have always felt a strong connection to the Lord through the act of worship. I get this sense of comfort and love whenever I worship to my Lord through singing or just praying throughout the song. I've never really known why, but I can definitely feel God's presence with me during those times. Lately, worship has been a little different because of everything running through my mind. From Australia support raising, to the trip in general, to picking a leadership team next year . . my mind is just filled with all these thoughts that I'm praying to the Lord for guidance for. However, worship puts me into perspective onto WHOM I am asking the guidance from. The lyrics within the song help me refocus my prayers from asking for guidance to merely praising Him for his work in my life thus far. I am so incredibly blessed and I know that He will help me through these decisions and opportunities that He himself has blessed me with.

One song that has been on my heart lately is "With Everything" by Hillsong.

It's such a great illustration of giving everything to the Lord, which is definitely an intimidating thought, but something we're all called to do!

Open our hearts to see the things that make Your heart cry

To be the church, the You would desire

Light to be seen

Break down our pride and all the walls we've built up inside

Our earthly crowns and all our desires

We lay at Your feet

So let hope rise

And darkness tremble

In Your holy light

And every eye will see

Jesus, our God

Great and mighty to be praised

God of all days,

Glorious in all of Your ways.

Your majesty, the wonder and grace,

In the light of Your name.

With everything

With everything

We will shout for your glory

With everything

With everything

We will shout forth your praise
