God speaking to me

God often speaks to me through music.  It's not always through praise and worship music, it's often to songs that catch my ear on the radio.  There is a particular song that I heard after my second miscarriage.  I was very discouraged and frustrated.  The lyrics of the song, Everything by Lifehouse, led me to a place where I felt peace and comfort from God.  I struggle with my self-esteem.  I feel that I'm not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, etc...  The miscarriages and infertility made me feel that God didn't love me.  I completed a Bible study last year that discussed how women tend to use negative "self-talk" to destroy themselves.  Since that Bible study, my goal has been to use positive and Biblical self-talk.  Any time I think something negative about myself and my circumstances, I try to remember Biblical truths.  My Biblical truths often come through songs.  Below are the lyrics from the song Everything by Lifehouse.
My favorite part is the line that says "How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?  Would you tell me how could it be any better that this?"  Even in the midst of my storm, I can still be moved by God.  I don't want to live a single day and not be moved by God!  




Everything


Find me here, and speak to me
I want to feel you, I need to hear you
You are the light that's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again
You are the strength that keeps me walking
You are the hope that keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms and you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart and you take my breath away
Would you take me in, take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this

Cause you're all I want, you're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything, everything

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better-any better than this
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
