Tired of your own thoughts?

The wipers pushed away the raindrops the same way I wiped the tear from my eye. The gray, rainy day mirrored exactly what I felt inside

My heart was heavy.

I had been replaying a situation over and over in my mind, building a story around it that felt so real.

Twenty-four hours later, it was still there, weighing down my thoughts as I drove. Internally, a battle raged while outwardly I simply went through the motions of the day.

The silence had finally taken its toll. Tired of listening to my own thoughts, I turned on the radio.

A familiar worship song started playing, and the lyrics spoke directly to my heart.

In that moment, I felt it deep in my soul: I wasn’t alone.

The Lord saw my hurt, and through the simple lyrics of a song, He reminded me that He was near.

Almost immediately, my perspective shifted. The venomous thoughts that had been swirling in my head began to quiet. I felt seen, loved, and gently pulled out of the spiral I had been sitting in.

Sometimes the stories in our heads consume us. Fear, assumptions, hurt, and anxiety can grow loud in the quiet places.

When the noise overwhelms, worship leads my mind back to the truth of the One who knows my heart.

So… let it rain.

He will be right there through every drop.

“Is there anybody’s mountain
Too tall to climb?
Is there anybody’s faith feel
Like you’re running dry?

So let it rain, let it pour
Lord, I need You more and more
Let it rain, rain down on me
Every day, whatever You want
Not my will but Yours, Lord
Let it rain, rain down on me”
