Your Hands... By Jay Jay Heller

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands

Healed...

Hey! Here is my latest post! I have not done any editing on it but I will later!           

There have been times in my life where I have felt like everything in my life is spinning out of control. I have literally felt at moments that I have fallen off a ledge and into a dark and bottomless pit where I just keep falling further and further away from God. He promised that he would never leave us or forsake us and that he would always protect us, but honestly there was a time where I seriously questioned that. Why, if he promises all this does he allow me to go through so much pain? How do I know that he is all powerful if he doesn’t stop all these bad things from happening to me?

One night I sat in my room when I was in seventh grade and I cried for hours on end and I begged God to show up and give me some answers, I begged him to give me peace that he was all powerful and that he would always be my security. He led me to Psalms 135:5-6 which says “For I know that the LORD is great, and that are LORD is above all GODS.” In that moment God brought me to my place of brokenness and I felt a sense of love and security that was unfailing, I found peace again and all fear was lost. In all my pain and brokenness God was still protecting me even when I doubted him and I knew that he could bring something beautiful out of something that seemed so horrible. Through all my pain I had lost myself but God still had a hold of me.

All I had to do was live within his promise and my life would be more then just fine because of the plan he had for me. Nothing just automatically got easier after that but everyday God walked me through it and it got to be easier until I got to where God wanted me to be. 

Have You REALLY Let This Change You?

Your walking down the hallways at school with your friends. Your all making jokes about the people around you, laughing at the kid who sits alone at lunch, talking about people behind there backs. Then you go to church wearing a plastic smile on your face, saying all the right answers, and knowing all the bible's stories. Sadly this is the way a lot of christians live; sadly this is the way that some of you, who are reading this, are living. You can know a ton of scripture, you can read your bible everyday, but unless you let it change you, from the inside out, then what is the point of all of this if you aren't going to be different?

The Lies of the Darkness...

Faith is a private thing and people kinda get offended so I don't think I should have to share my faith.  It's all about being cool, I mean who doesn't want to be cool! As long as I am a good person it doesn't really matter what I watch, listen to, or read. It's a good thing that there are shows and channels made for teens that teach us about safe sex and stuff that is really important to us. It really doesn't matter who or what I worship.

This is how darkness rules the hearts of youth. Are you trapped in any of these lies? Are you living your life saying that you are a christian but yet you still believe these things. Get out of  "Satan's" youth and into something better. Get into a movement and live for something that is bigger then yourself. Live for the king who had no army and won no military battles, yet kings feared him and he conquered the world.
