keep making me

Sidewalk Prophets - Keep Making Me

Make me broken

So I can be healed

'Cause I'm so calloused

Now I can't feel

I want to run to You

With heart wide open

Make me broken

Make me empty

So I can be filled

'Cause I'm still holding

Onto my will

And I'm completed

When You are with me

Make me empty

'Til You are my One desire

'Til You are my One true love

'Til You are my breath

My everything

Lord, please keep making me

Make me lonely

So I can be Yours

'Til I want no one

More than You, Lord

'Cause in the darkness

I know You will hold me

Make me lonely

'Til You are my One desire

'Til You are my One true love

'Til You are my breath

My everything

Lord, please keep making...

I know You'll keep making...

Lord, please keep making me

the words to this song are so powerful. how often do we pray for such things?

"make me broken.. make me empty.. make me lonely.. keep making me"

in my whole life, i've never asked for such things. but i also never felt compelled to because through all the trials that i've gone through and will go through, i feel like each trial has made me broken, empty, and lonely.

but whether or not i pray for these things, it's my response to them that matters. do i see the beauty and the significance in my brokeness, the emptiness, and the loneliness? do i rejoice in these things, being fully aware that all these "supposedly bad things" draw me closer to God?

what a powerful prayer/song the above is. true wisdom, too.
