down days

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

- Micah 7:7

 

I have had my share of down days, as I am sure we all have had, especially since 2020.

There are days that we feel we can’t go on, we don’t even have the energy to pray, life has us that down.

Some days it is just so hard to get out of bed and pretend like everything is fine.

I’m not fine. 
Matthew West says it very well in his song “Truth Be Told”

Lie number one you're supposed to have it all together

And when they ask how you're doing

Just smile and tell them, "Never better"

Lie number 2 everybody's life is perfect except yours

So keep your messes and your wounds

And your secrets safe with you behind closed doors

Truth be told

The truth is rarely told, now

I say I'm fine, yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine but I'm not

I'm broken

And when it's out of control I say it's under control but it's not

And you know it

I don't know why it's so hard to admit it

When being honest is the only way to fix it

There's no failure, no fall

There's no sin you don't already know

So let the truth be told

There's a sign on the door, says, "Come as you are" but I doubt it

'Cause if we lived like it was true, every Sunday morning pew would be crowded

But didn't you say the church should look more like a hospital

A safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred and the prodigals

Like me

Well truth be told

The truth is rarely told

Oh am I the only one who says

I'm fine, yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine but I'm not

I'm broken

And when it's out of control I say it's under control but it's not

And you know it

I don't know why it's so hard to admit it

When being honest is the only way to fix it

There's no failure, no fall

There's no sin you don't already know

So let the truth be told

Can I really stand here unashamed

Knowin' that you love for me won't change?

Oh God if that's really true

Then let the truth be told

I say I'm fine, yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine but I'm not

I'm broken

And when it's out of control I say it's under control but it's not

And you know it

I don't know why it's so hard to admit it

When being honest is the only way to fix it

There's no failure, no fall

There's no sin you don't already know

Yeah I know

There's no failure, no fall

There's no sin you don't already know

So let the truth be told

God knows, God hears even when we think He is not.

He hears our cries, He sees our pain.

Sometimes, we just need to pray that He fills us with peace.

We all have down days. 

Hope in the Lord your Savior, He will hear.
