Many of us fell down in the pits. Face with depression, anger, and sat in resentment. Swallowed up by the heavy fog, going deaf and blind from the gap between you and God. Allowing our circumstances to rule. Bowing to the pain of the past, to strip away our confidence. The enemy found the right chink in the armor. Slowly and precisely chipped away at our insecurities and vulnerabilities. Defenseless. The lies begin to plague the most sacred space, our mind. All the negative thoughts flood the mind. Knocks you into the same pit, you’ve fought to get out. Why am I here, again? Feeling isolated and defeated.
However this time, its different. Previously, you’d stay in the darkness, even settle. Only this time, inside of you is the mustard seed. HOPE, is your beacon to call for help. The One who rescued you before, is coming for you again. A voice resurfaces, a reminder, I Am is here. You are not so far that I cannot reach you.

Faintly, I’d hear this song playing in the back of my mind. Subtly diverting my attention away from the negative thoughts, I’d begin to hum this tune. I search profusely through my playlist and found it. I’d listened to it many times before, but this time felt different. I carefully focused on the lyrics. The words helped me get through the rough patches of this season.
So for any of you who are experiencing a similar situation. Feeling lonely and afraid. Finding there is no way of coming out. God is near and never far away. He knows exactly where you are. Simply put, He’s more powerful then any GPS. No person can stop Him from reaching you. You are not so far, too deep, that God cannot go deeper. He can go into the far reaches of the hidden places, only if you allow Him.
Stop putting God in the box. The cardboard is insignificant to the power God possesses. He is more than what our limited mind capacity. We were created in the image of God. The beacon of hope lives inside of you, and it is that same beacon which alerts God to your exact location. Our spirit is the connection to be able to communicate with God. He needs your invitation.
Don’t give the negativity any space to roam through your mind. Focus on these song lyrics. Let it fill your heart. Don’t stop the flow, even as the tears fall.
“Be Still”
Hillsong Worship
Be still and know
That the Lord is in control
Be still my soul
Stand and watch as giants fall
I won’t be afraid
For You are here
You silence all my fear
I won’t be afraid
You don’t let go
Be still my heart and know
I won’t be afraid
Be still and trust
What the Lord has said is done
Find rest, don’t strive
Watch as faith and grace align
I won’t be afraid
For You are here
You silence all my fear
I won’t be afraid
You don’t let go
Be still my heart and know
I won’t be afraid (2x)
(4x)
Surely love and mercy
Your peace and kindness
Will follow me
Will follow me
(2x)
Your love surrounds me
Your love surrounds me here
Yes, You are here Jesus
Your Holy Spirit is here, Jesus
You lead us past the waters, Jesus
You prepare a table in the presence of our enemies
You can say that surely love, surely mercy
Will follow us all our days and through all our days
We trust in You, we trust in You
(4x)
Surely love and mercy
Your peace and kindness
Will follow me
Will follow me
Surely love and mercy
Your peace and kindness
Will follow me
(Come one) Will follow me
(4x)
Surely love and mercy
Your peace and kindness
Will follow me
Will follow me
