I wish I could. At this time of my life I have no song to sing. I used to be filled with the spirit of the Lord that I could squeeze my chest and it would gush out for all to see. What happended? What sadness overwhelmed me so that I had to give that up? I miss that. I used to get so much from singing to the Lord. I would close my eyes during my praise and see heaven. I would see the Lord sitting upon His throne, high and lifted up. I never had to try to get to the intimate moments of deep praise, it would start immediately. I wish I had that back. I find days drag on into weeks and all my hope has been dashed into nothingness. I want to praise the Lord again, I was asked not to. What that does to a person like me is, it kills a little part of me. Little by little there is nothing left. No hope, no release. Why? Did I act a certain way? Did my praise “get out of hand”. Did I not conform to what the religious community says is acceptable? It really doesn’t matter anymore, the hope of that intimate time of praise is gone, I don’t know if I could ever regain the confidence to worship like that again.
I have been praying to the Lord for guidance on this and for all matters of my life. He tells me that my singing is unto Him only and with Him only. I am not to fear, He hears every whisper and every song, whether I am singing them or not.
