Trusting Again

These songs have been on my heart and are pretty descriptive of how I've been feeling lately. Recently, a friend hurt me deeply. They cut me to the core and I've questioned everything I thought I knew about them and our friendship. Accepting that God wants to restore that friendship hasn't been easy for me. Sometimes I still struggle with putting that into practice, specifically when it comes to trusting that friend again. However, I'm choosing to trust God and allowing Him to guide this friendship. By trusting in Him, He's made it possible for me to trust my friend again. Throughout this process, what I needed to hear over and over again was that God's character is consistent and nothing rattles Him; He is in control. I know He's trustworthy and I need to live that out.

Phil Stacey - You're Not Shaken
From the album Into The Light

I am sinking in a river that is raging
I am drowning, will I ever rise to breathe again?
I want to know why, I just want to understand
Will I ever know why?
How could this be from Your hand?

When every little thing that I have dreamed would be
Just slips away like water through my hand
And when it seems the walls of my belief are crashing down
Like they're all made of sand
I won't let go of You now, because I know You're not shaken

I am trembling in the darkness of my own fear
All the questions with no answers still grip me while I'm here
And I may never know why, I may not understand
But I will lift up my eyes and trust this is Your plan

When every little thing that I have dreamed would be
Just slips away like water through my hand
And when it seems the walls of my belief are crashing down
Like they're all made of sand
I won't let go of You now, because I know You're not shaken

When I am in the valley of the shadow of death
You're not shaken, You're not shaken
You're right here beside me and You have never left
You're not shaken, You're not shaken

When every little thing that I have dreamed would be
Just slips away like water through my hand
And when it seems the walls of my belief are crashing down
Like they're all made of sand
I won't let go of You now, because I know You're not shaken

You're not shaken
You're not shaken

Mark Schultz - He Is
From the album Come Alive

Father, let the world just fade away
Let me feel Your presence in this place
Lord, I've never been so weary
How I need to know You're near me
Father, let the world just fade away
'Til I'm on my knees
'Til my heart can sing

He is
He was
He always will be
Even when it feels like there is no one holding me
Be still, my soul
He is

Father, let Your Holy Spirit sing
Let it calm this storm inside of me
As I stand amazed
Lift my hands and say

He is
He was
He always will be
He lives
He loves
He's always with me
Even when it feels like there is no one holding me
Be still, my soul

Through every fear
And every doubt
In every tear I shed
Down every road
I'm not alone
No matter where I am

He is
He was
He always will be
He lives
He loves
He's always with me
Even when it feels like there is no one holding me
Be still, my soul
Be still and know
Be still, my soul
He is
