Enough

Last Sunday at church, I sang "Enough". Some of the lyrics go...
All of you is more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and every need.
You satisfy me with your love. And all I have in You is more than enough.
More than all I want, more than all I need. You are more than enough for me.
More than all I know, more than all I can see. You are more than enough for me.

A girl in our audience who recently lost her 3 triplet girls, (3littlebaileys.blogspot.com) emailed me saying that she enjoyed the song and tried to find me after the service but couldn't. Every morning before I sing, I pray that we will touch individuals in the audience and that their minds and hearts will be open to God and that they will feel His presence. She posted that during each song Sunday morning she just prayed that God would help her to believe the words that we were singing about trusting Him, because that can be a struggle for her while she is hurting.

I came across this poem/prayer this week, and feel moved to share it. It totally relates to the song "Enough". I'm sending this prayer up for me, Melissa, and all of the other women out there who are struggling to concieve a child.

I Give This Up To You

Lord, help me to know that You are enough. Take my eyes off of myself. Take my eyes off of the baby I desire. Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will. I don't want to need to be a mother more than I need to be your humble, obedient child. I don't want wanting to have a baby be a stumbling block between You and me anymore.

Lord, I want to give this desire, this drive, this ache up to You. Help me not to snatch it back as I so often do with the burdens I place in Your hands. Help me to be truly content with Your will and Your timing. Lord, You know that I still desire a baby-someone to mold, teach, train, shape, guide, and help to grow in You. But until the day You give me that joyous blessing, help me to grow in You. Let me reach out to those around me. Let me witness and minister to the children You place in my path.

Lord, prepare our hearts for whatever path You lead us to. If we are headed in the wrong direction, change our hearts.

Thank You for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first. Help me to fully trust in You alone. Let me seek Your face daily, and let me know that YOU ARE ENOUGH!
