Perfect Job

I can’t believe it. Almost a year ago I lost my “perfect”
job and really thought about how to kill myself. I thought my life was over –
what hope did I have? I had piling bills, my parents were going bankrupt, and I
had nothing left to hope for. But the song that kept me going was “Desert Song”.
In my moment of weakness I worshiped God. Now I sing that song with a new
purpose with hope.

 Today is a day of fasting for my team and after a morning of
prayer and being in the Word we are here at the beach in Australia
singing. Only God could have known that in one year I would lose my job, so I
could see I was not doing my calling and know that my perfect job would really
be serving God. I still have no idea what to do when I get back, but I know
that this year my purpose is to preach Christ all over the world.

The words to “Desert Song”:

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that is in me feels dry

This is my prayer in my hungry and need

My God is the God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trail or pain

There is a faith proved more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise 

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare 

God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle 

When triumph is still on its way

I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ

So firm in His promise I’ll stand

All of my life in every season 

You are still God

And I have a reason to sing 

I have a reason to worship

And this is my prayer in the harvest

When favor and providence flow

I know that I am filled to be emptied again

The seed that I have received I will sow
