I'm finding myself at a loss for wordsi hear that. so often, i sit down to pray and i have no clue what to say. i can relate....
And the funny thing is it's okay
that...i cant relate to. what? it's okay that i don't know that to say?
that was my honest thought process when i read the lyrics to this song. i am so familiar with not being able to find words in prayer, which annoys me to no end because i am a writer. that means, words are my gift. they are my talent. the strongest and sometimes only way i can express myself is through poetry. so when i sit down to talk to God and can't even use the gift He gave me, how am i supposed to feel? i feel bad. i feel like i have let Him down, in the fact that i can talk to everyone but Him.
but the fact that "it's okay"...just like yesterday's song...the more i listen to it, the more it makes sense. and it makes sense because i am listening and not talking. perhaps i should apply that to my prayer life. that i don't need to ask God what to do, because if i would spend more time listening and less time attempting to talk...i would understand and i would actually hear him. i pray, Lord, that i can listen better and more often.

the last thing i need is to be heard.
