I know there's more than this... and I want it!

Today while chatting online with a friend I realized how frustrated and agitated I am, but could not point those emotions to a specific something. Later I sat downstairs and hooked up our old mostly broken and missing buttons laptop to the prayer room. I had it sitting close to the floor and some child or some dog changed the screen from live to the archives. Since it was changed I clicked Misty Edwards. I found her set was very encouraging for my tension. I transcribed the part that was particularly encouraging to me (I may not have written everything 100% accurate but keep in mind loud children and a dog who thought it was playtime were interfering)

I know there's more than this (x3)
And I want it

There are moments I get angry at my boredom
And there are times when I get frustrated at my lethargy
And there are times when I look up to heaven
and just get frustrated at the ceiling.
And I just can't seem to get through
But when I draw back and realize that hunger is my gift
That hunger is my gift

O, there are times I look up to heaven in frustration
I feel like I'm in a fog
It's like I'm hungry I'm thirsty
And I'm wrestling and fighting the ceiling
And I just can't break in or break through

Then I hear a whisper in my spirit
He says again
'Blessed are you. Blessed are you
because you can't stand to be stagnant
You can't stand to stay in one place
Disillusionment will not be your friend
I will answer you from glory to glory
I will answer you from strength to strength

You've got to keep on keep on keep on knocking
You've got to keep on keep on keep on seeking
You've got to keep on keep on keep on believing
Again and Again and Again

Let your frustration be your fuel
Let your agitation be like a holy spirit violence
You're not gonna stay here forever
Let the dullness drive you
Just don't give up

Blessed are the frustrated who just won't stay stagnant
Blessed are those who refuse to accept the way things are'


Wow! Thank you Lord for speaking to my soul! I ask that others would be encouraged as they read this and allow them to know they have the same hunger in them, for you gave it to them. Open their eyes to see they are Your favorite one, that You delight and sing over them. Bless them in Jesus name!
