Song for the prodigals - Brian Doerksen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRWWat_cfeY The words in this song (well, the words as they are in English, I can't read the captions) are how I want to feel with God, but as it stands right now, I don't. I'm starting again to cry out to Him but I am so scared of being hurt that I can't find the strength right now to reach out. But this is what I want to feel..this is what I want!

I used to deal with God with a \"I won\'t bother you and you don\'t bother me\" attitude. Only thing is it just doesn\'t work that way. We have to realize that God doesn\'t do the hurting, man does. We tend to make God our scapegoat because he didin\'t prevent things from hurting us. We think we are in the driver seat but the way it works is God initiates and it is up to us to respond.
