Letting Go

How long Oh Lord til you restore me?
How long Oh Lord til you restore me?
My eyes are weak still I cannot sleep
My heart My heart is but a shadow
Still I don’t know how to tell you

I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you
I don’t blame you
I know you cry when I cry
You say you’ll never leave me
But I don’t know why
Still I don’t know how to tell you

I’m letting go, I’m letting go
I Count it all as lost
I’m letting go, I’m letting go
It’s time that I move on
(Repeat stanza 2X)

I am restored…(Repeat for 2 measures)

Letting Go by MandelynO

This song was written from an argument I was having with God. I found myself upset with Him because I couldn’t understand why I didn’t have parents that were there. I know many of us face certain times of loneliness and anger. I am not one to usually bring up family stuff in general, but that night I was at a vulnerable state and the emotions were much deeper than I could grasp, so it spilled out. It dawned on me while griping at Him… He cries when I cry.

God led you to right this song. At that given time God was leading you down the road of healing. It is so easy for us to think of ourselves and forget that all things work out for His purpose. As humans we are easily caught up in thinking God is about us, when in fact we are about God. It is our human nature.

Many people including yourself have gone through trying times. When going through such times we have an opportuity to grow personally, spiritually, and become more dependant on God.

Pray that we all remember, during those trying times, to pray to God to give us wisdom, give us strength, give us the endurance to weather the storm so we can come out of it for His glory.

MandelynO, you are healing and it took a jump start with this song. As you continue to heal seek His wisdom. Psalms 8
