The Weekend Brew: What Is God Saying?
Today I have no words to share with you. I’m feeling a little tired and heavy. There are so many things on my heart, and sometimes I just don’t have the words. But I know that God hears every beat of my heart, even the unspoken prayers.
This is a song written and recorded by a very dear friend of mine, and the main worship leader at the house of prayer that I am privilege to serve in. Her heart for the Lord is contagious. I pray you will take some time this week to sit back, close your eyes, and allow this song to sink deep into your spirit.
The Lord desires to partner with you to accomplish His will. Are you asking Him what is on His heart today?

This song was amazing! Another like-hearted blogger posted this week and mentioned this word: confide. I soaked that up. I know I’ll be writing on it next weekend if not sooner. My longing is to confide in God — with all that means — I guess that is why my word for 2014 is “Draw Near.” Thank you for inviting me over and for this transparent post. Praying for you today: that all the heaviness becomes light as you curl up in His arms. These wordless moments — days — seasons — are part of a healthy life in Him. He uses every last drop of whatever we endure for His sake and ours — and in time, others. I love the translation of “Be still and know I am God” as “Cease striving and know that I am God.” I don’t know if any part of you is striving, but I often find I a comfort I need.
Lifting my gaze, with you, friend. XO
Barbie, I pray that He would be your strength this week. May He comfort you and give you the peace you need. Thanks for sharing this song!
Praying for you, Barbie! Praise God that He knows our hearts & how to comfort us. Love the photo — it’s a confirmation to me that I should write a blog post about a dream I had last night about a wedding. God bless.
I hope that your heart is truly lifted today. Thank you for taking the time to host this linkup today.
Hi Barbie, I know right? I often feel that way, too – weary, sad, and burdened. Just take your pleasurable rest – in the Lord. I pray He will lift them up before you know it :).
Ah Barbie I continue to pray for you friend. Beautiful song. I’m glad you came by to accompany me on my virtual vacation. I think we both could use a real one but in the meantime it kind of helps to dream.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Thanks my friend. I enjoy the virtual vacations!
I linked up today. I pray that you are able to lay your burden down at the feet of the cross and that the Lord would offer you rest for your weariness.

what i love about God, he planned for this. moments in our lives when we just don’t have words. and you know what He does for us, He groans for us… interceding for us what can not be uttered. now that is enough to give you comfort, joy, hope, because we don’t have to have words ALL the time. praying for you my friend, because i know you have seen my words and known my heart and prayed for me.
Thank you Lisa. You are a true treasure in my life.
It was a beautiful song of worship and surrender. Thank you for sharing, my friend. I pray that you will find refreshing and renewal for your soul. I pray that you will find the rest and the infilling of God’s Spirit that you crave. I also pray that His Words to you would flood your heart and mind so as to be your sustenance and peace. In Jesus Name. Amen.
I love you!
Thank you Michele-Lyn. You always bring me strength through your words.
Barbie, I completely understand, but please know that you are being used for the glory of God and your talent for reaching people is so great. You have made a difference in my life. Bless you, my friend.
Ashley, you encouragement my heart more than you know.
We all feel like that at times. Sometimes the weight of the world and struggles and heartache can weigh us down, I know I have been there, praying for you.
Thank you my friend. You are a ray of sunshine in my day.
I know that feeling, friend. Oh how grateful I am that sometimes I can just be. And for him…it’s enough.
Thank you for your encouragement. Learning to just “be” without the doing is hard. Blessings!
Good morning dear Barbie. I wish I could just be there to give you a hug. I pray you will feel His joy bubble up within you my friend. I have no doubt that He is capturing your every tear and will pour out a harvest of joy in your life.
Love you friend!
Beth
