I'm Shaking Like a Leaf

This weeks pick is "Hold Me Jesus" by Big Daddy Weave. I like the song because it addresses the uncertainty that so many of us are feeling lately. Is my job secure? College is coming up and there's no way I can afford to send the kids. Could we lose the car or the house? Is my retirement account going to be worth anything when I need it? - we've all been there and we've all been terrrified by the thoughts.

"You have been my king of glory, won't you be my prince of peace?" I try to live a good life and follow Christ, can I please get a little comfort now because I'm really struggling here? In some variation, I'd bet lots of us have faced this challenge. Our faith has been tested and we want some reassurance. Perhaps the true intent of the song-writer (Rich Mullins) was to ask for Jesus' comfort - as opposed to looking to drugs or gambling or tv or alchohol - in times of struggle. I'm not sure, but either way I loved this line and the song itself. Hope you enjoy it.
