Portion/Prize

I wrote this song due to the events going on in my life that have caused me emotional struggle.
Nothing terribly bad happened.
-But-
When you surrender yourself to Christ as ask Him to shape you into the person He wants you to be,
just know that He will take you up on it.

You are not going to like it at first; you may hate that He is testing you, but-
He does it because He loves you, and wants to be closer to you.

"Portion/Prize"

Lately all I see around me is brokenness;
but still I know that God, You're good.
Your compassion's are new every morning.
God, You never fail.

For You are my portion; You are my prize.

Great is Your faithfulness;
You provide more that I could ever ask for.
You exceed me

I'll praise You in my suffering because God, You are good.
Even though my heart and flesh may fail, I know you wont.

For You are my portion; You are my prize.

Great is Your faithfulness;
You provide more that I could ever ask for.
You exceed me

For You are my portion; You are my prize.
For You are my portion; You are my prize.

*In Closing*

I'd like to pray over this.

"God,

I know that I've been struggling to see the good in the work You've been doing in my life.
But I need convincing that You know what You're doing.
If that's childlike of me, I'm sorry. I need You to hold my hand then.
I need You're loving arms around me to comfort me through my trials.
I need You to give me the heart to be joyful in my suffering for You :)
I know that I'm building up rewards in heaven for this.
Thank You Father for everything You're doing and everything You will do.

In Jesus' name,
Amen."
