Sometimes I Need to Cry Out to Jesus
.
Sometimes . . .
- . . . Sometimes my heart spills out a grief I thought I had secretly locked away.
- . . . Sometimes I am overburdened with physical & emotional pains and I just know it’s gonna always be this way .
- . . . Sometimes my best intention or action is not good enough to heal a broken relationship.
- . . . Sometimes my “addictions” are stronger than Christ’s power in me. And I’m ashamed to admit that.
- . . . Sometimes my loneliness and depression envelope me to the point of blackness.
- . . . Sometimes I need a fresh, tangible, personal touch from God.
Can you relate, sister? Will you join me as I Cry Out to Jesus?
Scroll down on this link and you’ll see the words and You Tube video for this song from Third Day.
If I may help you carry your burden, please email or call me. It would be my privilege to pray and love on you.

I can honestly say it is an overwhelmingly powerful experience to have Susan pray and love on you. Run, don’t walk, to take her up on this definitely more than “once-in-a-lifetime” offer. The wonderful thing about Susan is that she would never tire of praying and loving on you – she thrives on that sort of thing and you would be doing both Susan and yourself a favor by asking her. I can think of countless people who can give testimony to the power she “channels” when she prays. If you need some spiritual healing she’s absolutely your girl.
And Susie Q., you know we’re always here for you when you need some praying and lovin’ on back at ya’.
Awesome evening – one of our best yet.
Talk to you soon.

About 3 years ago I dropped into a black hole – four months of absolute terror. I wanted to end my life, but somehow [Holy Spirit], I reached out to a friend who took me to hospital. I had three visits [hospital] in four months – I actually thought I was in hell. I imagine I was going through some sort of metamorphosis [mental, physical & spiritual]. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis, up until this point in time. I actually thought I would be locked away – but the hospital staff was very supportive [I had no control over my process]. I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & shame]. No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified]. I asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my “psychological prison.” I am a practicing Catholic & the Holy Spirit is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing. I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities. John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He’s a real person who is with me all the time. I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages [England & Australia]. God LOVES me so much. Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 – 17].
Peace Be With You
Micky

Hi Susan
All you have to do is this: copy the instructions as well as the stars – and in one of the stars add your blog’s url so when someone clicks on the star, they get to your page and then post it on your blog… ask someone else to do the same, let me know when you are done and I will put you in my links..
any quesitons, let me know..
Interesting Observations

Every time I hear this song on the radio I cry..it’s like the words give me some permission to let out some of my own grief. Thanks for sharing…and I can always use prayers for parenting help. I have been in a general state of “overwhelmed” for a couple months…or a couple years…LOL

Catlady,
Thank you for the kind and affirming words. Yes, I do know that you all are here for me. And I appreciate it deeply.

Thanks I will do that.

Micky,
Thank you for sharing your powerful story of pain and release. Your words have sparked encouragement and awe (for God).
I thank our God that He is immense enough to totally transform our wicked and horror-filled pasts.
Really it is inconceivable to me.
And that He decided to choose us as His children.
I can’t imagine what you went through, but I can imagine His redeeming work because I’ve also personally experienced it. And I look forward with hope that He’ll continue to work in me.
Thank you, Micky, for visiting. Please come back often. I believe I have much to learn from you.
And peace to you as well, Susan

Lynette,
You are beautiful too. I have so appreciated your constant encouragement these past weeks. Wait until you HEAR the song. It ministered to me.
Theresa,
Before I read that blog entry, I had never heard the song before. So powerful. So like God to minister to us through song in a novel way (the internet).
I am in awe of God’s creativity.
Theresa, I will be praying for your grief to be replaced by His peace, joy and rest. I will also be praying for parenting wisdom. I put your name on my whiteboard (which is behind my computer) so that I don’t forget.
Today I am asking God for His tangible hand of blessing and guidance to be upon your life.
Thank you for sharing.

Doodah,
How very cool that you had a worship experince at a concert.
I really don’t know many songs by Third Day or by many other artists since the 80’s. Mainly because I don’t listen to the radio or have kiddos in the house that listen to Christian music.
Catlady told me you can go to lime-something (bad memory) and download (leagally and free) some songs from Third Day (and others too). I’ll have to ask her for the url and then have a listen to this group.
Are there any songs you’d most recommend?

Micky’s post reminded me of a song by Michael W. Smith that I love: Lord Have Mercy.
I’m sorry I don’t know where to find it so y’all can listen to it. But here are the lyrics:
Jesus, I’ve forgotten the words that You have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again
Chorus
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Repeat
I have built an altar where I worship things of men
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You
Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me love You again
Repeat Chorus
I have longed to know You & Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
Like a beacon in the night
Repeat Chorus 2x
