We all wish that life was simple and problem free. I know I do. But as we go through this life it becomes apparent that things are gonna go wrong. We are going to trust for things to work out the way we want them to and sometimes be disappointed. We are gonna have faith in a relationship or a job or a circumstance and no matter what we try, it fails.
This can be such a crushing time when this happens. We wonder where God is for us. Many times I have stood on the edge feeling like I was just gonna crash to the bottom. The pain of loss can be unbearable at times. I’ve had some dreams that were crushed as a result of other people’s decisions. We can’t control the will of others. All we can do is forgive and trust God to catch us and restore what the locust have eaten.
Some people think that when you’ve got God in your life that you will never have a bad day. Nothing will ever go wrong .. this is so far from the truth. Jesus says when the storms come not if. Sometimes he is even the one who causes us pain
.. though you slay me I will praise you .. Job 13:15
If anyone knows about suffering when you are not to blame or at fault, it would be Job. He felt the pain of the turmoil that God allowed to be poured out on him and continued to praise Him even though he did not understand. He probably felt abandoned in the storm as well.
This song was written during the worst part of a storm for me. If you are going through a storm, know that God has not left you and will make up to you everything that was stolen … And don’t be afraid to tell him your pain. You don’t have to hold it all in. It’s in the breaking that you find the greatest love and peace, because he is there to catch you …
BREAK MY FALL
I feel like I’m falling into the abyss
Off the edge of a cliff on a ledge and lost my grip
I’m feeling lost and devastated I can’t stop my heart from breaking
Chorus
Catch me I am falling
Catch me before all is lost
I need you to break my fall, break my fall
Verse
I need a refuge in the strength of your arms
Safely sheltered from harm, cradled into the pith of your heart
I wanna take my deepest breath And dive into your safety net
Chorus
Catch me I am falling
Catch me before all is lost
I need you to break my fall, break my fall
Bridge
And now I feel I’m sinkin down gonna drown
I feel I’m all washed out and empty
But with you in my life that’s when I come alive
I need you by my side come save me
