Chris' prayer: Adam Bitter's "Holy and Mighty are Your Ways"

Desperately longing to find you

And tonight, I did. I hadn't been to an Exalt or Encounter in almost two months thanks to some bad weather leading up to the last Encounter, but tonight's Exalt at my church was just what I needed. There is something about just singing out as loud as I can to my God, lifting my voice to Him and praising Him that is just so freeing. It's like nothing else in the world matters.

Except for those people around me. Stopping briefly to hear the songs of those closest to me, and even occasionally those not closest to me, I could feel God in our midst. I could feel the love that He has for me poured out and returned to Him through those people. Hearing them pray helped me to sing even louder, calling out to my Lord. Hearing them helped me find my God tonight, waiting for me, in the Eucharist. I can't wait to go to Mass!
