Obedience
Lord my heart is so confused
It is filled with pain
Lord you say so in Your Word
Obedience will always pay
But I still do not understand
Why it is this way
Why is obedience so hard
When by me You always stay
I don’t ask to understand
Or why I have to do this
Why I have to leave a friend
And cut the strings between us
But…
Jesus give me the strength to stand
Give me the faith to trust in you
Fill me with a peace that is unknown
Give me Your love to carry me through
As I continue down life’s road
Give me the desire to stand
Fill me with a great desire
To obey You and Your commands
Let this all be for Your glory
Let Your name be praised
Make my reaction as it should be
My eyes on You keep stayed
Make me stronger through this trial
Deepen us as friends
Bring me close to who You are
And who You’ve always been
Make Your Spirit shine out from me
Let with the world me not blend
Give me with you intimacy
Be my very best friend
And…
Jesus give me the strength to stand
Give me the faith to trust in you
Fill me with a peace that is unknown
Give me Your love to carry me through
As I continue down life’s road
Give me the desire to stand
And Fill me with a great desire
To obey You and Your commands

Well...this is a struggle that I have been going through lately...I just don't agree on some things that my parents do and they know that but they said I need to obey them anyway which is what I do need to do...but it is hard, especially when it involves losing contact with a close friend that has meant SO MUCH in my life and has changed it dramaticaly.
So this song/poem is my hearts cry, that God would give me the strength to obey my parents and therefore obey His command to obey and honor you parents. I not only need to obey my parents in this one situation but have found that I do a LOT of things behind their backs and that needs to change. I have realized that it is doing a lot of damage to my spiritual walk. As it states in Proverbs those who ignore their parents direction and disobey them definately will not be blessed but rather torn apart. It also states somewhere that those who are obedient will be blessed but those who are disobedient will be cursed. God hates disobedience...which is portrayed by the language against it in the Bible.
The eye that mocks his father, And scorns obedience to his mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it. -Proverbs 30:17
Pray for me that I will learn to obey my parents...but at the same time that I won't be too weak to come to my parents when I don't agree with them and talk it through. Thanks.
His Humble Servant, Jordan
