Katie's prayer: Kutless' "Tonight"

Tonight, while listening to this song, I was having trouble understanding the song. It sounded like just a bunch of noise. Without having the lyrics in front of me (and I didn't at the time) I couldn't understand what they were saying (or rather singing). And I started forming my prayer based on this. (Of course now, as I'm sitting here writing this and listening to the song more, the lyrics seem perfectly clear, but that's not going to affect my prayer!) (:

This morning was the monthly Y-NET meeting (gathering of youth ministers in the area). The topic this month... actually, there really was no one topic, there were like three topics, all connected into one talk. But the last topic is the one that really hit me. The speaker was talking about being submissive. In particular, submissive to God. And really, that comes down to trust! I'm sure I've talked about it on here before, because God has been working this subject on me for quite some time. It's not like I'm trying to be rebellious, or that I don't trust God, it's just that I like my version of things, and I think God should listen to that and He's not. And further more, He's not giving me HIS version of how things should go!

Tonight, listening to the song, I realized it was a lot like God. Trying to convey a message, but it's just not coming across. Maybe God is sending me a message on how things should be going. Maybe I should just trust that some day I will have the lyrics in front of me. Or maybe even come to understand what is being said. Trust. God, I'm trying, really I am. Could You help me out a little... send a few lyrics my way?
