At some point, all Christians struggle. It could be a struggle with a lack of faith, doubts that keep coming back, disappointments or feelings of inadequacy in ministry, physical ailments or a habitual sin. We struggle and we feel that God is far away, our desire for Him wanes. The Apostle Paul wrote that he had a thorn in his flesh, he prayed 3 times that God would take it away, but it remained. Instead a promise is given "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" 2 Cor 12:9. This promise still holds true for us today.
A special thanks to my girlfriend Anne, she played the guitar and did some background singing!
Lift Me Up
The night is long
My heart grows numb
And the light it seems so dim
The sea it rages
The promise fades
Who is holding on to me?
There is still a thorn in my side
And I just can’t understand why
But You say
That when I am weak You are strong
So I cry out to You once more
By Your Spirit lift me up
Set my heart on fire today
Let me run and not grow tired
To soar on eagle’s wings
