Erinnicole's Prayer: La Rue's "Waiting Room"

Losing my mind

This feeling is one I am all too acquainted with. I actually have taken to saying it regularly over the past few weeks. It seems like nothing in my life is staying consistent. People can't decide if they want to be friends, work schedules and theatre schedules change, people expect a lot from me, or they expect nothing at all. And the inconsistency is driving me nuts. So this song fits so perfectly into my life (unlike so much else right now, ironically haha). I do have to start remembering that this isn't it. It gets so much better than this. Even during the times when things are working, there is still the unimaginably better on the other side of this world. The place where God is waiting for me and here I am waiting for Him. But one day the waiting will be over...and I trust in God know that all this waiting will be worth it. Amen.

Megan's prayer: LaRue's "Waiting Room"

I wish God would send me daily emails. Just a quick “Hey Megan, It’s God. Don’t forget I love you. Have a good day at school.” That would be the most fantastic thing to find in the morning when I’m barely awake, stumbling to my computer to check to see if I have any new emails. I would save every email, label it “GOD,” and go back through each of them during the times that I’m not feeling loved, during the times I need a quick reminder.

Day after day…
…I have to remind myself
That you’re there and I belong to you

I don’t really understand why I have to be reminded so often. Looking at my life, it is evident that I am God’s and that He loves me. It is obvious that I have been blessed, but sometimes I lose focus of this. I need that gentle reminder, either from myself or a friend, that I truly am loved by God. It helps me to regain focus on what is important in my life. It helps to reprioritize the things that I do. It helps me to live a happy life, to live my life for God.

Chris' prayer: LaRue's "Waiting Room"

Again, today, I'm presented with an image that doesn't appear too appealing upon first glance: a waiting room. The first place my mind goes when thinking of a waiting room is to the doctor's office. Sitting there, feeling terrible, waiting for my name to be called, so that I can go and sit and wait in an even smaller room.

However, God reminds me through Philip and Natalie LaRue's voices that He is even in these spaces. He reminds me of something I'm always looking to hear whether I'm at the doctor's office, sitting at home, or anywhere else:

Everything will be alright
And everything will be OK …
He loves me

Marie's Prayer: LaRue's "Waiting Room"

Oh, everything will be alright
And everything will be OK

I try to believe With all my heart that one day Everything will be ok. Because If you don't believe that things Have the possibility of Looking up, then you are not Going to enjoy anything. And for that matter, If you don't believe God can make everything Ok, then you really have No hope in anything, which is truly sad. So I look on the bright side. Or at least I try to because, everything will work out Like it's supposed to.

Catie's prayer: LaRue's "Waiting Room"

And I don't understand how
We could be so blind not to see
The love that stands in front of
In front of you and me

Lately when I pray, I try to remind myself how much God loves me. As I've grown deeper in my faith it has become easier and easier for me to believe in the great love God has for me. But there are times when I fail to see it, fail to be Christ's love to others. How can we expect others to believe in God's great love for them if we aren't willing to be the one's to show it to them.
