Wrestling with God



If there was ever a song which summed up the serious faith crisis I was having a few months ago, this would be it!

It starts on a high - yes God is there and I know it, I experience His presence somehow...
But then the tune 'drops' into turmoil - 'My mind is in a state...'
And then the silence...
Before the beat picks up again - coming through the other side.

In some strange way, although I sense the different feelings as the song progresses - there is something else running under the entire piece - a sort of constancy. From the faith perspective, that speaks to me of a God who remains there, unchanging throughout whatever hits me.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever. Psalm 73:25-26
