One Prayer Away? - (Songspired ep.1)

By -

 "Can you tell me something else?" 🤦🤦

Sometimes life overwhelms you so much, you can't even find words to express it. You don't even want to, you're simply tired. On top of that, the church is offering you the same thing.

But,
"You can talk to God" doesn't sound like an advice that works.

"God cares about you" does not ring true in your ears anymore.

Because, how about the times you've called and it didn't seem like He heard?
You've prayed and nothing happened?
You've praised and things remained the same?

But what if I tell you again
That God still cares?
That God's still there?

Will it matter?
Because you've heard it before
And now all you want to really do is ignore

But please don't
Praise still works
Prayer still works
God is not far

And sincerely, what are these problems, what are even generational curses before the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous?

I know you may be tempted to
Check out other options
But even if they may answer for a while
They won't last

God, Communion, Praise, Prayer - is what really works.
This is an encouragement
That you should just keep pressing
Things will EVENTUALLY change.

God is still just ONE PRAYER AWAY👇🏽  

Flipped through the TV, nothing good's on
To get your mind off of what's going wrong
Look through the freezer, 
like food can relieve you
From all of the emptiness left in your heart
No beautiful woman or human affection
Fixes the mess that you've dealt with so long
Nothing on Earth can keep you lifted
Chemical highs are eventually gone

I know that you've heard this before
And you really wish the church could say more to you
Cause God dont seem as close as you want Him to
Please remember, 

However he can
Know he'll be there to do
Whatever you can't, know he's only one - 
One prayer away

You're looking for shelter from all the bad weather
Desperately trying to flee from the cold
Generational curses, getting worse and
Family demons are centuries old
In the midst of the confusion, the abuse, the misuse
You gotta be superhuman to face the day
But we ask you to have faith 
Simply seek His face
And expect it all to eventually change

I know you've ignored this before
But I'll do my best to make all this 
clear to you
Even when you can't say nothing 
God's hearing you

Whatever you can't
Know he'll be there to do
Whatever you can't
Know he's only one
One prayer away

I know I can't make it with only me
So it's nice to have a father 
who will always be
One prayer away.

Leviticus is making me say, "Thank God!"

God is so clean, if he was a man, he would be tagged to have OCD. Anyone who has read the book of Leviticus will understand just how much God hates dirt. The more I read through the book, the more grateful it makes me. What humans will consider 'no big deal' these days, was such a big deal in those days. Even things that are not necessarily your fault, like bodily discharge, made a man unclean and thereby unfit for God's presence, in those days. And then He'd have to do some sacrificing, to cleanse him and make him worthy, still only for a while. Until he's unclean again. I want us to realise that, the life most of us live now, is the kind of life that deserved to be burned or stoned in the old testament.  Thank God, there's the New Testament and thank God for Grace. We would never have deserved God's presence, but Grace has made us deserving of more, even LIFE. Let our lives show that we appreciate His Grace. By Grace are we saved, and we stay clinched to G...

Don't Rush

Abraham, Sarah and Hagar - A pot mix of mess My Dad said something in one of the meetings we held recently, he said when one time he was contemplating taking a particular step, after he had prayed concerning a matter and he made no headway, he felt that taking this step was going to be his only way out. God asked him; " Do you think I can't do this thing for you? " he answered in his heart. "God, I know you can do it, it's just that your own takes time" It sounded funny, because most of us could relate with it. And partly it's the truth:  It can be very hard to wait on God because His timing is really very different from ours. But the reason is: He is working with His plan, not ours.  And we must train ourselves to work at his own pace, if not we'd get frustrated at how long he's taking and it may make us try to rush past him, and then we will end up making the mother of all messes. That's how I can describe the mess Abraham made by sleeping ...
