For some reason it is always this time of year when this song really hits home. The songs I love best speak my name the most or are encouraging to me with the certain things I am facing. God has proven Himself faithful to me time and time again and yet I keep getting in situations where I am just not trusting Him. For some reason I just keep thinking there is something I have to do, somehow put my hand in the situation, as if God hasn't kept everything going just fine thousands of years before me. The cycle has to be broken and I can only cry out to God to help me let go and watch and to see His work in me.
The Art
Rachael Lampa
This is all so beautiful
But how much of this will really be
Enough to keep me on my feet
This is how it feels, when it's for real
But how much can be invisible
Enough for me to just believe
And I'm chasing the wind
And ending up right where I began
I know that there's an art to starting over again
Knowing God will never waste the pain
You can only try so hard, to right a wrong
This song will only last so long
Life takes time, so let it live alone
I may never know why, I should just let it go
But do I really want a God that I can understand
Still I close my eyes, try to reason why
But since when do my desires, dominate the plan
And I'm chasing the wind
And ending up right where we begin
I know that there's an art to starting over again
Knowing God will never waste the pain
You can only try so hard, to right a wrong
This song will only last so long
Life is just the art of living on
And life is in slow motion
And when the silence is deafening
Hold on tight, you're gonna cry
There's always a reason why
I know that there's an art to starting over again
And I know that God will never waste my pain
You can only try so hard, to walk alone
This song will only last so long
Life is just the art of living on
It comes down to the art of living on

Year Verse
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. "For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream. And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.

Take heart. Sanctification (trusting, surrendering, etc.) is a process. Per Romans 5:2b-5, "...And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." I sometimes wonder if these "cycles" that you mentioned (and with which I am, too, so very familiar) aren't intended to produce endurance and perseverance. I am further encouraged by James 1:4, "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." The words of this song are awesome - pretty heavy. I don't think I've heard this one. Stay strong in the power of his might, sister.
Rachael Lampa is an awesome artist I have like 3 of her CDs.
