Dependence
Victory can only come
when I lay down control
when I stop striving and trying
when I see my neediness
when I lean hard and deep into You.
Weakness, struggle, failure
clear the air of the mists of self-reliance.
Through the lens of my neediness
I see how unable I am.
I whisper Your name
You are with me
warming me with Your smile
lifting me up onto Your shoulder.
You fight for me
when I come to You.
You don't want me
to do this on my own.
•
The Lord hears His people
when they call to Him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
Psalm 34:17-18
