"My heart is confident in you, O God;
my heart is confident.
No wonder I can sing your praises!
Wake up, my heart!
Wake up, O lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn with my song.
I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
I will sing your praises among the nations.
For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds."
Psalm 57:7-10
Again with the heart! God has been showing me so much about my heart these past few months - I just can't get away from it!
In the last few days He's been talking to be about confidence; my confidence in Him(or lack there of), and the confidence that I've been looking for in humans(that can't be found). In looking for this confidence in those around me, I have been allowing lies seep into my mind and my heart. Lies telling me that I'm not good enough for love, I don't hold what the world says is needed to be loved...lies, lies, lies.
Its taken me the better part of a week, and some serious honesty, to feel better and work through these lies. And while I'm still not 100% there, the Lord has been showing me his love, and telling me of how He wants me to have joy in Him.
This passage stuck out to me last night when I was praying. My heart has not been confident in God, and has not been singing his praises daily. My heart has been asleep in the light. That's sad.
Awake my heart, O Lord. Help me to sing your praises every morning(even when I'm waking at 4:30am!!).
Blessings.

Nice
I couldn't resist!
"What will this day be like? I wonder.
What will my future be? I wonder.
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared
A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?
Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack
The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me
So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me
Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me
And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me
I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me
Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!
It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)
I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!"
Can you guess where its from?
