Jen's prayer: David Crowder Band's "Come Awake"

I love this song. It seems like years ago that my friend Tasha and I would carpool to college together and play this first thing in the morning for the obvious reason: Come awake. We were so tired and grouchy in the morning and this song always got us going on a more positive note. Good times. :)

Today, this song has helped me in a different way. There's a lot going on inside my mind right now and I feel like God and I are playing some major tug-of-war. I feel really confused. Ironically, I had this David Crowder album in my car's CD player already and I don't think that was a coincidence. After finding out this was today's song and then getting in my car and hearing it, I was pumped. It was good to hear these lyrics:

You are not the only one
Who feels like the only one
Night soon will be lifted friend
Just be quiet and wait for the voice

I cut out the last three words of that final line because the words above are the ones that I really need.
I'm not alone. My frustrations are things many have experienced. This "night" or heaviness on my heart will soon be lifted if I just quietly wait to hear God's voice on the matter.
