A Heartfelt Thank You

My Loving Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for encouraging me today. Yesterday pretty much sucked; but today gave me hope!

I got an answer that I had been waiting for. It was a yes. 🙂

I got some help that I was looking for. I pray that it will propel me forward.

And all I can say is, with all of my heart:

THANK YOU.

Thank you that I now have hope that things are going to be okay.

Please renew this sense of hope each morning, along with Your endless mercy and grace.

I love you!

Your Adoring Daughter,

~Crystal

Our Time of Need

our-time-of-need

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

~Hebrews 4:15-16

Come to Jesus with boldness today to receive His grace and mercy–not because of what we have done or haven’t done, but because of who Christ is and what HE has done for us! Hallelujah!

Complete Surrender

It’s a profound prayer of the heart–completely surrendering oneself to God. I heard the song “Completely” by Among the Thirsty on the radio the other day, and it has been running through my mind ever since. I can’t help but relate to the honesty of the lyrics and the urgency of the cry. As you read the words and/or listen to the song, allow the Lord to speak to your heart and to draw you closely to Himself in complete surrender.

I’m feeling so small
Standing here weeping
As I’m coming clean
Of the secrets I’m keeping
I’ve caused so much pain
To the ones I love the most
And I’m falling apart
As I carry my heart to Your throne

I am completely surrendering
Finally giving You everything
You’re my redeemer, I run to the cross
Because You are more than enough
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completely

I’m letting go
There’s nothing I own
The treasures I held
Just weighed down my soul
And there’s nothing left
Inside of me
But a longing for You
And a longing to be the man that You need

I am completely surrendering
Finally giving You everything
You’re my redeemer, I run to the cross
Because You are more than enough
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completely

I let Your gifts take the place of you
But You pulled up my selfishness from it’s roots
I am a broken and fragile me
But I’m where You want me to be

I am completely surrendering
Finally giving You everything
You’re my redeemer, I run to the cross
Because You are more than enough
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completely
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completely

–“Completely,” by Among the Thirsty
