I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

Chorus 1:
You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don't know is part of getting through
I tried to do what's best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing i can do
Is to put my trust in You.

Chorus 2
For, You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I

Coda:
I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If i let You reach me
Will You teach me.
(Repeat Chorus )

For, You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I

David Campbell, lyrics "You Know Better Than I"

I've learned to chew the meat and spit out the bones...even when my own pastor speaks. If it's for me, the Holy Spirit will convict. Amen

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

There's a lot going on. Just a lot.

Even when trials come my way, I have to remain focused on my Master and just keep tap dancing on the enemy's head...

The battle is raging
The devil is raging
I don’t want to be sleeping
While the battle is raging

For my spirit is willing
But my flesh gets tempted
Rise up, my soul, and start praying
‘Cause I don’t want to be defenseless, yeah

Pre-chorus:

I don’t fight as one who beats the air
Give me eyes to see and ears to hear

Chorus:

I put on Christ, make no provision for my flesh
Put on the whole armor of God
Leave no open door to darkness

And I take the scroll, I eat the scroll
I open up my mouth and speak forth Your word
And I take the sword of the Spirit

Bridge:

Blessed be the Lord my Rock
Who trains my hands for battle, who trains my hands for war

Tag:

I’ll let nothing steal my passion for Jesus
I’ll let no one steal my passion for Jesus

[GoddessMaker]

I thank God for opening my eyes to things..I have fought too long to try not own up to my issues..I have a learning disability..I done with putting myself down..I continue to think about certain members who tell me remember what your creator says about you..therefore I continue keep my head up and not feel stupid for trying to be upbeat when thing around me aren't the way I desire..I pray a job or unemployment comes up in September..I just don't want to go in to massive debt but the children of the most high are taken care of..

[luthiengirlie]

Isaiah 14:32

What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nation? "The LORD has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge."

Beautiful new YT channel from natural hair Youtuber SunshineBeautiful. She's recently given her life to the lord and has dedicated her channel to sharing her journey and discussing her new life with people. Really great idea, and her spirit is sweet. FYI.

1 Peter 2:5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;

Revelation 1:6 And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 5:10 And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

From Wikipedia: a priest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priest) or priestess is a person having the authority or power to administer religious rites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_rite); in particular, rites of sacrifice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrifice) to, and propitiation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propitiation) of, a deity or deities. If we are all priest unto the Lord, then what do we sacrifice? All of ourselves, daily, just as Christ did to fulfill His Father’s plan. What is our propitiation, our ritual? Obedience to His will, not man's.

Am I giving up? I don't really know what I'm doing. I just kind of doing whatever I guess. Another "insurmountable" was placed in the way. *Sigh* if this is the patience part can I try to entertain myself in the meantime?

I heard what Rev. Brown said this morning about sudden, and how you had him add in that special message in the middle right when I started to listen again. But until sudden comes can I just entertain myself with another?

I'll be honest Lord, I don't know what I'm doing, but sitting here isn't fun....I'll stop here because this outloud prayer is getting too real...we can continue this later...

[GoddessMaker]

I'm thankful for today the little momemnts like this help me get through my constant stormy weather called my life..I pray maybe one day I will be like normal those with income to blow and favor..

[Vonnieluvs08]

Trying my best to be angry and sin not. Trying to not let the sun go down on my anger. Trying to be graceful and understanding of others. Trying very hard not to walk away from a responsibility. Trying to compromise and not expect my way to be the best way or the only way.

Lord I know you fight with these things with me all the time. Show me how to be like you and love when its hard to love. To be compassionate when its hard to show compassion. To be understanding when when it feel like the other is stubborn.

Honestly I'm just not in the mood to deal with particular people. I hate people who have to micromanage situations especially after they asked you to help them. I can only take but so much. Lord help me.

[GoddessMaker]

I so feel like finding a gun and just put myself out of misery..Im in so much pain physically and mentally and people don't seem to give a blank..then all the noise and banging around attitudes gets me so on edge..I think my vodka will have to be my comfort bc Im not feeling anything from God right now at all..Im trying to push on but Im getting to the no return point..

[Abdijz]

Hmmm . . . I woke up sick this morning . . . After I prayed a big prayer. This is not the first time that this has happened. Pray for me ladies.

"No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off." ~ Leonard Ravenhill
