When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way

I go running to Your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free

(chorus)
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul

There are so many times when I forget that God has an unbelievable plan for me! It's so easy to forget that God has this incredible life planned for us, and we want to take over because we lack in trusting God, or we don't like the direction he is taking us. In my life lately, God has been really breaking me, and taking me in a direction I'm scared of. He's bringing a storm into my life, and I'm so afraid of being broken. But what I realize even though this brokenness is headed for my heart is that I become more intimate with God and I am strengthened because of the storm. We all need to trust God with our lives because we should all remember that he orchestrates all things for our good, not our harm. Even though I'm going through a time where I don't understand things, I know the overall plan will be so incredible. Even though I remain in the dark about so much, God simply wants me to stop and listen to his still voice. I know that if I finally stop and listen to his voice he will invite me to a call of intimacy. God desperately longs for a deeper relationship with us, and if we just give Him the time of day, he will blow our minds with his loving and eternal characteristics. Remember that just because the world tells you God's intentions for your life aren't good, doesn't mean that it's true at all. God wants to be our refuge and our strength. He wants to provide a road that very few will follow, but I pray that all of us will discover that narrow road. Passionately travel it, because in the end the only road existing will be the road you and God are standing on. How exciting to know that our Father loves us that much!
