Sit back, buckle up, NOW SHUT UP! (God's words to the scoffing Christian)

So many times, things will happen in life, whether they are good or bad, and we say:

"Well I could have done this," or "They did that," or "We didn't do this."

God is up there like, "What are you talking about? I've got it all under control!" So often Christians become scoffers of the things of God. We like to tell God how WE want things done, and if something supernatural that we cannot explain happens, we try to place it on human actions, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T EXPLAIN IT!

Why can we not just take God for who he is? Which is God. He is a sovereign God.
 
"The heart of man plans his ways, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 16:9

I need something else...



It's like I'm tired of life. Lord, I'm wrong, why can't I get right? Lord, it's dark and I can't get light!
Why it can't be light? It's so heavy! Why my sin won't let me see the end?
Come get me.
Please get me.
My thoughts, my mind, my ways, all evil! I'm supposed to be your people! I'm supposed to see your sequel!
I said I'll never leave you, but I'm so left! I ain't right! Lord, I'm sleeping with death. Man, I'm cheating with death!
Am I deaf? Because it's like I can't hear you. I question my salvation, because it's like I don't fear you. I'm on a selfish island I am nowhere near you. God, I really need you even though I don't appear to.
I'm drinking out a broken cistern that could never hold water and I'm gunna get burned. Though I try I never satisfy or quench this yearn. I hear you calling, but it's like a fight for me to just turn! Lord, I deserve to burn!
Help me Lord before there's no time left. I ain't living I'm just breathing to death. Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest. Mine are evil and they lead me to death.
I’m feeling schizophrenic. Maybe I'm not saved because I have to get high, just to block out all the pain. I’ve seen death, I’ve seen hurt, I’ve seen a whole lot of things. But instead of running from it, I'm running away from change!
It's like I'm outside in the ice cold weather. The rains coming down and I keep getting wetter. I know I'm getting sick and I could die any second, but still I refuse to let your truth make me better.
I'd rather eat flies and maggots instead of bread. And it's killing me slow but I can't get it through my head! You were stabbed, you were murdered, and for me is why you bled! But I spit on your bloody face as if I never cared!
Lord, how dare I compare my pain? Your father turned his back, and you were left to hang!
I don't know why you did it, that I can't explain! How can you love this sinner whose desecrated your name?
Lord, I deserve the flames!

Help me Lord before there's no time left. I ain't living I'm just breathing to death. Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest. Mine are evil and they lead me to death.
I know that I'm a liar. I know I do dirt. I know that I am nothing, but you can give me worth.
I don't know if I know you…But still I know I should. I know the days are evil and only you are good.

I've to the conclusion: I would like to change, because all the world’s money and fame cannot sustain.
I know that I should turn, but that's the hardest thing! Because do I really feel that having Jesus is a gain?
The world is so tempting…Satan is a beast! He hypnotizes my eyes to say the least!
But Jesus be my treasure, to know you is to live. And I am here dying trying everything there is.
All I need here is you! Help me turn away from sin. Give me grace to turn away and the fear not to give in.
I know that I'm not perfect, but if I could rest in Him…I know I don't deserve it, but I'll take your hand…Lord, let me take your hand!

Help me Lord before there's no time left. I ain't living I'm just breathing to death. Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest. Mine are evil and they lead me to death.
