This past school year, every time I went into a friend’s room I saw a Spurgeon quote that she had on her desk that read “a prayerless soul is a restless soul”. Those words have been haunting me since I came home a month ago.
I don’t really understand what prayer is. Sure, I could define it for you, but the concept itself it just so hard to wrap my mind around. So for now, I’m borrowing some prayers written by some singers, finding and singing songs that put into words what I need to express.
Tonight, this is all I can pray.
I‘m so tired of chasing the moment instead of chasing You
I let the world wear me down, I’m desensitized
Jesus keep my heart alive, keep my heart alive
Only You can save me from a world that’s breaking right before my eyes
Only You can save me when my hope is fading, and I’m losing the fight
Keep my heart alive
Take these empty “hallelujahs”, and fill my lungs again
‘Cause I want to sing, and I want to mean it
I want to feel again
And let the world hear the sound of something divine
And when the world wears me down,
You’re my lifeline
You keep my heart alive
Jesus, keep my heart alive.
