God will make a way

The first time I was moved to tears by a song was in late 2007, nearly half a year after father passed away. I don't know what to say and I don't know what to pray during those darkest period of my life. Pain, sorrow and anger have been clamping my heart tightly for nearly half a year after father dead.

That night, tears flowing down my cheek while I was listening to Don Moen singing "I will sing". For the first time after nearly six months my father passed away, I was again able to pray and sing to God again. I will never forget that night how He has healed my heart from all the pain, sorrow and anger that almost suffocate me.

The last two months are one of the most trying periods in my life. Tired, frustrated and stressed are the best three words to describe my feeling after a painful personal incident and continually pounded with overwhelming demands from the class and office. I'm not aware that I'm exhausted until I almost crash into another car on the way home last Friday. It is a scary near missed. My mind and body like stop functioning for few seconds in the middle of a fast moving expressway.

I've been trying hard using my own way finding solutions and overcome problems but I've exhausted myself in doing so. That night, God whispered to me and healed me again through a song of Don Moen "God will make a way".

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me

He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today

I realized it is foolish of me thinking I can solely rely on my own intelligence and might to make a way out of the many problems I faced. By doing so, I've denied God's right to be my guide and make a way for me out of the wilderness.

You may encounter problems that you could not solve. It can be relationship, money, job or a life and death situation. You're tired, frustrated, stressed or helpless that the way forward seen to be in total darkness. I'm not assuring you of a solution or a divine intervention. I can only urge you to open your heart to Don Moen's song "God will make a way" and put your faith in Him to make a way for you. I also dedicated this song to the people in Japan, may God make a way for you to overcome the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters and heal your sorrow and pain.
