i will follow You anywhere, LORD.
anywhere You go, i will go too.
i will follow You anywhere, LORD,
anywhere but there.

i trust You Father, and i know
that You will protect me always.
i will follow You anywhere, LORD,
anywhere but there.

please Father, anywhere but there
i can't go through that pain.
i will follow You anywhere, LORD,
anywhere but there.

i know You know what's best for me
but i'm sure this can't be it!
i will follow you anywhere, LORD,
anywhere but there.


**
i often say that i will follow Him anywhere -- as long as where He leads me is to green pastures and flowing streams -- but life w/God is not always filled with good times and happy faces. He gives us trials and strips away our comfort zones to see who will truely follow Him!! i have seriously been convicted this week of not following Him 'anywhere' but only where I want to go, and where i want to go is often way off the path He has set before me. i hope this speaks to someone out there who reads this.  please keep me in your prayers as i keep you in mine

Dear pharon, So touching. Remember, He will not put any more on us, than He knows we can bear. Keep following Him, where ever He leads, for He loves each of us the same. A powerful love for us, He has. Bless you,marcy

Pharon I have to laugh at this. Oh you bet ya others can relate to this. I know I can!

We are willing to do whatever don't bring us out of that comfort zone. Take a look back through time at all you've come through. You've always made it right?

It reminds me of the story of the man who had fallen over the cliff and was hanging on to a twig. He looked up and yelled, Is there anybody up there who can help me?

God answered and said yes. I can help you!
Just let go of the twig.

The man looked down and then said, Is there anybody else up there who can help me?

How often times we're just like that. Not willing to take that leap in faith.

God bless you and I'll sure say some prayers for ya. I think we all fall in that one time or another, or many times I should say.

Your openness and honesty is touching, my friend. and confession is good for the soul--what you confess here and observe is all too often true in the lives of many, myself included, who are not always willing to go the distance.  God help us be more like His Son who said, Not my will but Thy will be done" and meant it and did just that without resevation.  God bless you,  David
