Katie's prayer: Hillsong United's "Selah"
Somehow this song already had more than 100 views before today. And somehow it got the rating of 5 stars. Once I heard the song, I was confused by both of these facts. It’s just mainly instrumental. At times it sounds like there’s words, but I can’t make out what they are. It really bothered me. Partially because no words makes it difficult to make this song my prayer, there’s no direction, nothing. I mean I’m still, in this very moment, not sure what my prayer is going to be. I just know that I’ve been listening to this song non-stop for the past 1.5 hours and it’s getting late and I need to get to bed. I feel like God’s just sitting up there giggling at me, “ha, ha, let’s give her this one! See what she thinks about this! ha ha ha.” The only thing I can really come up with is that sometimes, it’s hard to understand God. What He’s trying to say, what He’s trying to get me to do. This song is a great example of that. Firstly, because I can’t understand the words they’re “singing.” Secondly because I don’t know what God’s trying to tell me, except maybe He’s trying to tell me that sometimes it’s hard to understand Him. (: And sometimes, no matter how much you try, you won’t be able to understand. Sometimes, you just have to let time run it’s course and eventually things will make sense. Maybe it won’t be til Heaven, but eventually it will make sense. And maybe the point is not to drive yourself crazy for 1.5 hours trying to figure God out, but to just be.
