This is My Prayer in the Battle

Over the past year and a half or so, my relationship with God has been rocky. Mostly because I was going against God, so that I could do my own thing. Over that time I had felt guilty and down for a majority of it. Turns out ignoring God to do your own thing doesn't leave you feeling very happy or fulfilled. It makes me content in knowing that my relationship with God gives me life, and without Him, something is missing.

As I make my way back to God, I find myself struggling with past sins. I find myself being attacked by Satan--when I'm awake and when I'm asleep. But when i feel the attack coming, I've been really good at relying on God and asking Him to take care of this one because I can't do it on my own. You know--the whole "God, Satan's knocking, can you get it?" thing. :)

There's a song by Hillsong that I feel fits every situation, no matter where you are spiritually, and it helps me. It brings me peace. It's called Desert Song.

Here are they lyrics:
This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
And weakness or trial or pain
There is faith proved more worth than gold
So refine me lord through the faith

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So fill my his promise ill stand

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have reason to worship

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

And this is my prayer in the harvest
And favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empties again
The seed I receive I will sow


I don't deserve all of the good things that God has blessed me with, and I definitely don't deserve His presence in my life. However, I am thankful for it. And I'm hoping in the next few weeks that I will once again fall so in love with my Savior because He is wonderful indeed.
