STOP, WAIT AND LEARN.....

So, I've been down this road before,
Yes, this street is familiar
How, oh how did I ever find myself back here?

The last time I was on this very lane

I prayed desperately to never come back
So why, oh why am I here again

I don't need this.........again
I can't deal
I used up all my strength the last time

Could it be that I missed out on learning something then?
Help me see what I need to see...
Gain the wisdom I am destined to gain from this,
Dear Lord I pray.....so that I'll never wander down this lane
Ever again!
This has to be it Lord!
Please help me see through your eyes....

There are sometimes we find ourselves back to some place we once prayed desperately to get out of. We just don't get it. The battle is supposed to be over. What could have brought us back here. Well...a wise person once told me if I ever found myself in a situation like this, then it means I have forsaken God and He's trying to get my attention or I forgot to learn the most valuable thing on this not so new battle field. In other words, we only repeat a lesson if we fail a test/exam. God being His merciful self, is a God of a second chance. Some of us, He knows, can't handle failure.

If you can relate to this, hang in there......pray to learn what you missed the last time, ask to know God's heart. Pretty hard and frustrating. But it's all the choice you have. Either this or you drown in depression. Here's a beautiful song by bethel music - "closer". As always I implore you to not just enjoy the rhythm but sing along with purpose.

Cheers beautiful people.
