It has been a couple of weeks since I wrote a Blog – but it seems that there is allot of stuff going on in several lives of the people that I know…. In the last two weeks a couple of items – have stirred me on the stuff that happens around us.
- The speaker a couple of weeks ago talked about Intercessory Prayer and that we all need it – especially when we are in hard times.
- The other was the song Broken Hallelujah: What a perfect song for those who are going through some Trials and have questions as to why????
A great verse on Intercessory Prayer is from Romans:
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning’s too deep for words.
This is a prayer that we can pray for ourselves or for others who are in need of prayer coverage. We do not need to know what the issue is – but we can be praying for the Holy Spirit to intercede… But this is something that we all need to be looking for – and to help others get through their tough times.
Then this song came up this last Sunday and put a couple of my friends to their knees in what was being said. Please read the Lyrics below and you will see that sometimes we are going through some really tough times with no understanding of why – except that God is going to make Beauty out of these broken ashes…
“Broken Hallelujah”
I can barely stand right now.
Everything is crashing down,
And I wonder where You are.
I try to find the words to pray.
I don’t always know what to say,
But You’re the one that can hear my heart.
Even though I don’t know what your plan is,
I know You’re making beauty from these ashes.
I’ve seen joy and I’ve seen pain.
On my knees, I call Your name.
Here’s my broken hallelujah.
With nothing left to hold onto,
I raise these empty hands to You.
Here’s my broken hallelujah.
You know the things that have brought me here.
You know the story of every tear.
‘Cause You’ve been here from the very start.
Even though I don’t know what your plan is,
I know You’re making beauty from these ashes.
So this week – please be looking for opportunities to bless someone with Intercessory Prayer – they need the coverage.
