Honestly?

In the same mind lies clarity and confusion, doubt and faith
and I come before You begging for direction, and seeking Your face...

If I should wait, I'll wait
kneeling and grounded in Your word
but if I should move, I'll move
nothing else can I afford

Than to place my feet in the steps You plan
and to fix my eyes on Your guided path...
I only ask that I not be led astray...
Lord take my hands and guide my way...
restore my sight and grant me Your clarity...

And once again I feel trapped in a skin
with a thousand dreams poisoned by perfectionism
and all I want is to hear Your words above the noise,
"This is the way, walk in it...that's the sound of My voice."

So if I should wait, I'll wait
kneeling and grounded in Your word
but if I should move, I'll move
nothing else can I afford

I only ask that I not be led astray...
Holy God lend the hand that guides the way
restore my sight and grant me Your

CLARITY

Its amazing how God alows us to be confused so He can show us the way. But on the other hand, God allows confusion but we bring confusion on ourselves. When you think about it, every decision we make isn't based on waiting for God to answer so much as it is walking or waiting in His Spirit. Confusion comes when we walk in our flesh and then want Him to make the next "big" decsion for us.

This...is what you so beautifully have pointed out in this post (and I am assuming, song).

We often say, God is not a God of confusion. This is true, He is a God of clarity and a God of peace that surpasses all understanding. God requires patience, loyalty, and trustworthiness from His Children. If we can't trust our Father who is for us, then who can we trust? Certainly not the world, and no matter how hard we try, obviously not ourselves.

Thank you again Emily for sharing your heart and wisdom
