Encouragement

This morning as I was praying these two verses came to my mind and they comforted me so I wanted to share.

"For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him.” 1 Samuel 27. 

For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

I was listening to the Casting Crowns song this morning Come to the Well, I love this song because it talks about one of my favorite stories in the bible. In the song Mark Hall sings these lyrics:

Leave it all behind, 

Leave it all behind, 

Leave it all behind, 

Leave it all behind, 

I have what you need, 

But you keep on searchin, 

I've done all the work, 

But you keep on workin, 

When you're runnin on empty, 

And you can't find the remedy, 

Just come to the well.

You can spend your whole life, 

Chasin what's missing, 

But that empty inside, 

It just ain't gonna listen.

When nothing can satisfy, 

And the world leaves you high and dry, 

Just come to the well

[CHORUS:]

And all who thirst will thirst no more, 

And all who search will find what their souls long for, 

The world will try, but it can never fill, 

So leave it all behind, and come to the well

So bring me your heart

No matter how broken, 

Just come as you are, 

When your last prayer is spoken, 

Just rest in my arms a while, 

You'll feel the change my child, 

When you come to the well

[CHORUS:]

And all who thirst will thirst no more, 

And all who search will find what their souls long for, 

The world will try, but it can never fill, 

So leave it all behind, and come to the well

Yeah

Leave it all behind

The world will try, but it can never fill... leave it all behind

And now that you're full, 

Of love beyond measure, 

Your joy's gonna flow, 

Like a stream in the desert, 

Soon all the world will see that living water is found in me, 

Cuz you came to the well

[CHORUS:]

And all who thirst will thirst no more, 

And all who search will find what their souls long for, 

The world will try, but it can never fill, 

So leave it all behind, and come to the well

I love this song because He is all we need and we must trust in Him. When we come to the well we have all we ever need in Christ if we'll just accept Him and live our lives for Him and not this world. 

Have a blessed day friends, thank you for the prayers.
