We Are Not Alone

The first time I heard this weeks song, I knew it was going to be my pick for SOTW. "Hold My Heart" by Tenth Avenue North really captured my attention. I liked the music and the words from the start. It didn't "kind of grow on me" - it truly had instant appeal.

Once again, the lyrics are inspired by the not-quite-cutting edge, but always applicable book of Psalms. (Click to read Psalm 13) I like the reference to God holding onto a breaking heart - protecting it with his power and surrounding it with his gentle, healing love.

How often do we feel alone or insignificant? Will God even hear my prayer, let alone answer it, from all the prayers that are made all over the world? Are my needs more important or urgent than the billions of other needs he is asked to fulfill? What makes my voice loud enough to capture God's attention and action? I've asked myself these questions countless times and I'm sure you have , too.

We are all just one tear in a rainstorm, one voice in a sea of pain asking the maker of the universe to hear the faint sound of our breaking heart. If we hold on to our faith -the unseen promises -we will hear Him call our name. We are children of God. Our father hears us, comforts us, gives us strength and absolutely holds our hearts when we are nearly broken.
