I never really liked Chris Tomlin's song "I Lift My Hands". Musically, it just didn't appeal to me.
But right now the lyrics speak volumes.

"I lift my hands to believe again" There will be times in my life when I lose hope and faith in God. It is a conscious choice and effort to place my faith in Him. Faith isn't automatic.

"As I pour out my heart" It's a great thing to know that I can pour out my heart to God just like King David in many of his psalms. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.

"These things I remember, You are faithful, God, forever" I forget so easily how faithful God has been in the past. I forget that He will continue to be faithful, because that is who He is.


I'm an idiot, and I need constant reminding of what kind of God I serve.
My God is faithful, and He will provide.
My God is my refuge and my strength.
My God loves me so much that He did not spare His Son to die for me.

^{Even when I don't feel it, Lord, You're at work
Even when I don't see it, Lord, You're still good}
