I need Thee

A few weeks ago I was feeling frustrated. Waking up the next morning I still felt frustrated and irritated. It was Sunday morning. I was sitting in church, angry with myself for not moving past the irritation. I didnt feel like being in church. I didnt feel like singing. My gut was in knots over the termoil I was feeling..Music began, but I couldnt find my voice...I was allowing Satan to ruin my worship! I send up a half hearted prayer...I tried to sing..forced the words out..determined to get "with it" But my frustration and irritation was getting in the way...then the song changed...and with it, my mood..it was as if God himself began to sing to my heart..

I need Thee every hour, 
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like thine
Can peace afford...
I need thee, oh I need thee
Every hour I need thee
Oh bless me now my Savior, I come to thee

We do need Him, not just very hour but every minute with every breath...I am so grateful he released me...holding onto things I cannot change or have no control over...allowing frustration and irritation to steal my desire to Worship...
How often do you allow things to steal your joy, your worship? Negative thoughts, frustration, irritation, broken hearts, anger, saddness, bitterness, hate, fear...sinful desires...these and more steal from us. Distroy and begins to break down our relationship with God..there is no power in holding on these feelings. It will pull you down, control you....In my hour of need, all I could muster was a quick half hearted prayer, but God sent me strength..he broke the bondage...he heard me...and he will hear you...
many blessings...
