Fragile and Hopeful

 Today could be another "big day". Our connection will be talking to someone high up for us. We have hope yet still recovering emotionally from all the ups and downs we've already gone through, especially the most recent ones. Today we are praying for victory, but knowing that He is still God, and we will still have a reason to worship even if this battle is longer and harder than we personally hope for. Dwelling on this song today and asking for prayers to stand firm even though we feel very fragile. Please pray we will have a victory and reason to celebrate today even if the victory is solely Christ's promises and presence in the desert. Thank you! Christ IS our ultimate victory in every season! Pray we will stand firm on that promise and that we will no longer be shaken by temporary things.

DESERT SONG by Hillsong
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

 And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

 And 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 battle
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

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

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow
