Barrier Jury

Right now I'm numb. I'm numb, but the nerves are also taking over my body. I'm nervous. It's silly though. There's no reason to be. I've played through this stuff a million times, so I should be fine. But I still feel scared to death. I need to trust that everything is going to be fine.

Father, I come to you empty. I have absolutely nothing to offer you, except through your hope, and through your everlasting love. Help me to understand and remember that you are with me. Comfort me tomorrow so that my mind is clear. Tomorrow is for you. Make my jury a time of worship - a time where I can give back to you, because you have provided me with the gift of music. Without you this gift is meaningless, and to try anything in my own strength would be useless. Lord, I know that I need you tomorrow. I can't do it alone. My body and my mind are not capable of anything. Unless You are by my side, I will fail, because without You I am nothing. Father, be with me. I am nervous. I have not lost heart, but I just need you to get me to that place of peace - that place of rest where I can sit in Your presence and worship You with my everything. Be with me Lord. Cover me with your love, and keep me safe in Your arms. I lift this up to you.

Here it goes...


May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
-Romans 15:13
