I’m not going to go into the entire Hillsong United experience, because it was just too much for words! I will just touch on the song that moved me the most, which was the Desert Song. Over the past few weeks, the thought rolling around in my head (it sounded very much like a marble on tile floor) has been “no weapon formed against you shall prosper”. I have been praying earnestly asking for God’s help with different life situations (maybe not so different than yours… my situations are not extra special), and asking for God’s wisdom, and the thought that keeps persisting is “no weapon formed against you shall prosper”. I took this to mean (based on the questions I was asking) what is for me, is for me. Nothing will stand in the way. If I love God, and want to do his will, and turn my heart towards him(or HER) : ), then everything laid out in God’s plan for my life, even before I was born or my parents were born, as the universe was created, will come to pass. I am confident in this. It has brought me a LOT of peace the past few weeks and no more stress about “what do I need to do to make this work out”. No. I feel like God has spoken to me through the holy spirit and told me not to worry. That no weapon formed against me shall prosper. It’s SO deep!! Knowing that nothing will stand in the way of God’s plan for me and my life has been amazingly comforting! So, last week, during the Flamingo Film Festival, during services, the girls sang Hillsong’s Desert Song. It was such a pretty song, and the lyrics went right along with how I was feeling (Funny how that ALWAYS happens, right?). This weekend, they played it again at the concert, and it was, by far, my favorite.

The song and lyrics are below… Enjoy : )

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it’s way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow
