Marie's Prayer: Superchick's "I Belong to You"

And when life becomes something just to get through
That's when I'm glad that I belong to you
This part is really amazing because sometimes everyone feels like they're just getting through life. That's how I feel lately and I really want to live. So I'm glad to just belong to Jesus.

Chris' prayer: Superchick's "I Belong to You"

Hope.

Already, just seven days in, I have heard this word over and over in the different songs. It is a word that has been resting on my heart, and one that I am meant to hear, to investigate, to understand.

In this song, Tricia Brock speaks of a lack of hope and the weakness that accompanies it. Without hope, we are broken, feeble beings, and it is through this hopelessness that we are reminded of the need we all have to belong.

And who better to belong to than the one who will never let us down? That is my wishlist this holiday season– to find hope in the One who strengthens me, the One who will never let me down.

Megan's prayer: Superchick's "I Belong to You"

So many times I find myself wishing away my days. Either something happened during the day to make it “bad” so I just want it to be over and have a fresh start the next day, or maybe I am looking forward to something so much that I wish away the days in between now and then. Either way, today’s song includes a line that seems to fit my feelings exactly during those types of days.
Life becomes something just to get through.
In reality, this is a horrible way to look at life. Regardless of how much stress a certain day is filled with, it is still a gift. Regardless of how much I am looking forward to something a certain number of days away, each day in between is still a gift. By seeing everyday as a gift from God, a chance to make a difference in the world, an opportunity to live in the moment and not be living for the future, I think life would be much more enjoyable.

Erinnicole's Prayer: Superchick's "I Belong to You"

i love belonging to Someone! especially Someone with all of the love and kindness in the universe. can't get much better than that, i do believe.


Sometimes life brings more pain than we can bare alone

I am a very compassionate person. because of this, people usually come to me with their problems because i love helping. my friends and people i care about have a really wide variety of things they struggle with on a day to day basis and sometimes it gets extremely overwhelming for me. mostly because all of their struggles are things that i cannot fix. my only purpose is to listen and pray for them. but all of their pain plus the own struggles in my life are things i can definitely not bare alone. It is totally comforting to know that i belong to someone that lets me know that i never have to bare anything alone. God is good!
