My small, unexpected moment with God

Yesterday we sang a certain song during worship, "Praise is what I do." It's not my favorite worship song, but certain words in this song really got to me:

"I vow to praise you
Through the good and the bad
I'll praise you
Whether happy or sad
I'll praise you
In all that I go through"
...
"Know my circumstance
Doesn't even stand a chance!
Cause my praise outweighs the bad"


As I looked around the congregation, I realized I wasn't the only one being touched. For me, I've been struggling with myself, physically, emotionally, and financially, and with Grandpa John's steady decline in health. This past week, my car has, for whatever reason, decided to not start. It's been a trial.
After church, I spent the day with Josh until late. On my foggy way home, I decided to listen to the christian radio station, 104.9, instead of my usual CD101. My mind mulled over the various activities of the week, circling back around to the morning worship at church. I kept dwelling on "What am I going to do?" and felt more and more depressed. As I was sinking, I randomly thought about a certain Third Day song, and tried to remember the lyrics. Then, just as turned into the driveway and went to turn the car off, the song came on. Third Day's "Cry Out To Jesus." I lost it. all I could do was cry. It was one of those moments where God chooses the perfect moment to reveal himself to me. I cried and prayed through the entire song. It's all I could do. It was a wonderful and heartbreaking moment and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

CRY OUT TO JESUS by Third Day
To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

Chorus

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith and love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering

Chorus

When your lonely (when you're lonely)
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

Chorus
