If you listen to the lyrics in this song it’s all about going through things. Not knowing the battles a person faces or how they’re handling them. Not everyone has God to turn to. Sometimes people probably feel isolated and alone like they have no one, not even a friend. Even a Christian who is praying out to God may still feel alone even if for just a moment. It’s not always a – pray and your prayers are answered, type of life. As a matter of fact, that’s often not the case. God is always there for us, but he always has his own agenda and time because we live on His timeline, even tho we always try to morph it to be the other way around. We get up daily thinking we can make it about us and our timeline (Ha). One thing remains true we always learn something.
“But tell God I’ma need a whole lotta hope keeping it together” is another lyric to this song. When we are going through things most of us have hope that it’ll turn around for the better!
In life we have a choice, we can choose to be negative and think “why me” “why now” and “things will never change” and we get bitter and bitterness rips our souls apart. OR we can choose to be positive and think of things for the better. The world, in the state it is, our first reaction is to turn negative in everything, so much so that we don’t even notice it’s what we are doing. Becoming aware of it is the first step to fixing it. The next would be looking at everything in life as a glass half full vs empty. Or finding the silver lining in every situation.
Watch yourself and listen to what you are saying in life. Choose to look for the better vs living in the bitter.
Ephesians 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
