Marie's Prayer: Falling Up's "Broken Heart"

Words that paint the legacy of life
A different picture will unfold

Words are very interesting. I find myself at ease writing and/or typing them way more easily than I can say them. When I read or write something I tend to visualize things in my mind but draw blanks when someone tries to describe something using words. I am sure you all are tired of hearing about this, but with all that's been going on with my past a different picture is shown to me than the happy one I used to remember. Now things make awful sense and I realize how stupid I was for thinking they could have been any different. Most of the story is now unfolded before me and I just have to find a way to make sense of it and hopefully move beyond it. So each night I find myself asking God for a way to show me how to get beyond this and even my communication with Brad is helping me to see how his family dealt with this. He has moved past it even though it was visibly tougher on him than anyone else. So I ask God to help me move past it too.

Erinnicole's Prayer: Falling Up's "Broken Heart"

this song just made my day. i love every thing about it; the music is amazing and the words make so much sense. im truly connecting. i mean, my heart has been more or less broken since november...different reasons but basically i haven't been up to my normal happiness level. it not like life has been terrible, just disappointment is kind of a trend.
BUT this weekend, i went to a bunch of different church things and like...spiritually renewed myself and gave my struggles to Jesus and just tried to let things go. and it worked. suddenly, my whole focus on everything is different. i can see that things haven't really changed too much but suddenly i have this whole new perspective and can see all of the blessings and feel God's Presence in my life. it is awesome, i feel so joyous!

There's a Healer waiting to begin


i think so often, i keep waiting for God to step in and fix things. but then i continue living my life the way i choose to live it and not listening to anything He says. He is always waiting to begin, to make a change in my life. i don't even have to invite Him; He is already here. He is just patiently waiting for me to love and want Him there. my prayer is to remember that more often and just let God work.

Chris' prayer: Falling Up's "Broken Heart"

A healing finds its way through …
So heal my heart …
Father, Healer …
There's a healing calling from the wind …
There's a healer waiting to begin …
Father, Healer …
You can heal …
Father, Healer …
In true "broken" fashion, I'm finding it hard to put words together today.

It is clear, though, that God as Healer and His healing touch is the message today. He is calling me to reconcile my brokenness, my broken heart, my broken love, with His perfect love, His perfect heart, His perfection. To replace my life with His. How can I live for him today, and, in the process, heal the brokenness in my life?

Megan's prayer: Falling Up's "Broken Heart"

As much as I enjoy living on my own, sometimes it gets lonely. Even if I have had human interaction throughout the whole day, I might still feel alone when I get back to my apartment. Even though I know that there are many people out there who care about me, when they aren’t present, sometimes it’s hard to remember or realize just how much I am loved.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact I’m a visual learner, but I am much more convinced of someone’s feelings if they are there with me, sitting with me, or holding me in their arms, rather than trying to believe how much they care about me without having them present. Those times, being in someone’s company, are the times I feel most loved.

Today’s song echoed some of my feelings.

Stay here, closer, let me hear your voice of love.
