When I am quiet my mind is loud



The Lord is gracious to redeem every situation. I'm so thankful to hear again and again of those who have walked through devastating experiences but who have experienced God's love at a greater magnitude because of the suffering. As I walk through my own season of severe anxiety and relational hurt, I am once again drawn back to only what I know is true, only His word can truly anchor me, and only He knows me and loves me perfectly. He is my rock and He is the One who redeems the difficult roads that I walk.

Let me hear in the morning
of Your steadfast love
Your truth covers me like a heavy quilt
Grounding me to who You say I am
My mind
You know it is fragile
You know I am forgetful
The enemy
His whisper can be so loud
You are broken, he whispers
You are unlovable
You silly girl, you do not belong. You never will.
You have no purpose
You are a burden
But Lord, let me remember
Let me not forget the powerful truth of who I am in You
You say I am loved
You say I am adopted, not to ever be given back
You say I belong
You say I was chosen before the world was even created
You say You will never leave me
You say You have plans for me
plans that You will bring to completion
So let me hear of your steadfast love, Oh Lord
Let me hear, every morning.
