5. “Trust In You” by Lauren Daigle
Inspiring Lyrics
“When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You”
When I found out we were being stationed in El Paso a few years back, I was anything but pleased. Who wants to spend years of their life in that desolate place? I went begrudgingly. When we crossed into the city borders the entire town was swarmed in brown dirt as we passed through a dust storm. I was anything but eager for this new season of our lives.
Yet, God put us there for His purpose. He doesn’t always reveal His reasoning to us, but I feel like He did this time. While in El Paso I encountered a prayer partner at my church who taught me about true forgiveness. He showed me that God was using a situation in my life to teach me how to love like Christ.
Because of this man, in El Paso, I forgave my father and began speaking to him again after months of silence. I didn’t know at that time that my father only had a couple years left to live. In the last years, he got the chance to love my children and I learned to love him well because God sent us to El Paso.
Also, during our time there I became involved at a Christ-based pregnancy center, something I had never considered before. The center was outside the doors of our church and the director spoke to the congregation about volunteering. God led me to this ministry and through obedience to this calling, I’ve been able to work with the Lord to save tens and tens of babies that would not otherwise be on this earth. This, all because He sent us to what I jokingly deemed a God-forsaken land. Instead, I learned that city was drenched in His presence.
