Chris' prayer: Delirious?'s "Gravity"

I'm caught in the middle which way should I go?

This is the question I find myself asking, specifically with regards to the ministry I'm involved in. I'm stuck between investing myself fully into something familiar and constant and supported, or finding a way to lay down my own tracks and try something new, something without any guarantee whatsoever that it won't be a colossal failure. I've been praying and contemplating for awhile, and much like the rest of this song, I really can't make sense of what I'm hearing. I really need a clear "this is what you should do, and here's how I'll help you accomplish that," but I haven't heard that, yet.

Fortunately, there's another song, and more prayer time, tomorrow.

Megan's prayer: Delirious?'s "Gravity"

People have told me that college will be the best four years of my life. I've often wondered just exactly what part of college makes it the "best years." Although I am enjoying the experience, I really hope that these aren't the best years of my life. I hope that after I graduate, I will have as much joy in my life, if not more, as I do now.

One of the last lines of today's song states

These are the days that we'll look back upon when we're old

I hope that when I do have a chance to look back and reminisce about these four years, that I will be pleased with how they turned out. Their greatness will surely not be measured by whether or not I got drunk or how many classes I skipped. Those things are so trivial in the grand scheme of things. What matters is whether or not I let God's love for others be seen through me. That is where my focus should be. That is what will make these four years great.

Marie's Prayer: Delirious?'s "Gravity"

Memories fade while experience beckons
I'm caught in the middle which way should I go

I hate Making choices. If someone comes up to me and says, "Pick which One you'd like to do," I will refuse to pick. I tend to get stuck in the Middle and don't know which way to choose. This proves difficult when I have To come up with a Solution for one of my characters when I write. But I tend to try and stick towards the memories Opposed to the experience because even though I know Experience is good, I always look at what could go wrong. So now I have to take The giant leap into experience. One, two, three, Here I go!

Erinnicole's Prayer: Delirious?'s "Gravity"

Gravity's pulling me, but heaven is calling me

this is how I have been feeling lately - the the world (gravity) is all pulling me one way and that God (heaven) is pulling the other. I feel like nothing can be simple because it feels, in my melodramatic teenage mind, that life is the way of the world or the way of God. But the way of God can become the way of the world, if we call upon God's help. Or at least, it can successfully become the way of the world we create for ourselves. That is how I want to live my life. Sometimes, though, I feel weak and I don't feel like constantly preaching on why certain things are bad. I'd rather let the little stuff go - like harmless insults. It is much easier to blow them off and keep my friends than it is to stand up and potentially lose them or a part of them. Granted, no one said that easy would be right. My prayer is that I will aquire the strength to pull away from what the world seems to be pulling me to. Also that I can recognize more simply the ones whom God has given me that are headed in the same direction that I am.

Catie's prayer: Delirious?'s "Gravity"

Give me the real thing flowing through my veins
This is the day, this is the hour
Show me the truth cos I want to be blinded
I wanna run, which way should I go

This is what I want. I want the real thing flowing through my veins. I want to truly live out all that I have been taught about how I should live my life in Christ. I think Lent is the perfect time for that. In all honesty, the last couple days I have gotten really pumped about Lent, I'm so excited about it. I'm so glad that it has finally started. I don't really know why I'm so excited about it, but whatever reason, this year I am. I think part of it is that Lent is just a great way to grow deeper in relationship with God and to really focus on how much He truly loves each of us.

heaven is calling me

Heaven is calling each of us. How do we answer heavens call? By knowing that when we are truly doing something right, even if it feels as though the entire world is against us, knowing that we have an entire communion of angels and saints with the Trinity up in heaven cheering us on, wanting us to do the right thing which is the cheer we should be listening to, not the earth's. Whose cheer to we chose to listen to today?
