My God is Able

My sandals are off.

My feet are bare.

I am standing on Holy Ground.


Father, I'm at Your throne, my heart poured out, where we've been so many times before.

You know the condition of my heart, and how badly I'm in need of Your grace.

My human condition tells me I'm hurt, tells me I'm angry, tells me I'm broken. And in my sinful state, I want to remain this way.

But Your Spirit within me convicts, and I know I must change, I know I must let go of my will, and be obedient to Yours.

This is the hardest thing You've asked me to do, and I just don't know if I'm able.

I don't want to forgive. I don't want to forget. And I don't want to be gracious.

I want to be mad.


But no matter how long I search Your word for permission, I'm just not allowed.

Give me the strength I need.

Fill me up with Your love, with Your mercy, and with Your power.

To cleanse me, to sustain me, to give me strength.

.

Sometimes God brings us through trials that we never expect. Sometimes He requires more of us than we even feel able to do. But after months and weeks of carrying around this brokenness in my heart, I am now convinced that though I am not able, my God is.

My God is able to heal every wound.

My God is able to knit together all the broken pieces.

My God is able to give me strength that I've never known.

And my God is able to make all wrongs right.

.

When my heart within me is broken and I'm at the end of myself,

My God is able.
