How do I find the love of God again? I feel so disconnected. I feel worthless and a failure.

How do I find the love of God again? I feel so disconnected. I feel worthless and a failure.
 
I find the words and songs of Lauren Daigle so useful in these times. The song in this blog, "You say" is particularly personal and full of truth and power.

"You Say" resonates with many people on many levels.

Know that you are loved. You are not alone. If you feel lost or you are struggling with thoughts of suicide there is hope and there is help. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 and all calls are free and confidential. Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

Below are the lyrics to meditate on.

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough. Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up.
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?

Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know

You say I am loved
When I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong
When I think I am weak
You say I am held
When I am falling short
When I don’t belong
You say I am Yours
And I believe
I believe
What You say of me
I believe

The only  thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity

You say I am loved
When I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong
When I think I am weak
You say I am held
When I am falling short
When I don’t belong
You say I am Yours
And I believe
I believe
What You say of me
I believe

Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet
You have every failure, God, and You’ll have every victory

You say I am loved
When I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong
When I think I am weak
You say I am held
When I am falling short
When I don’t belong
You say I am Yours
And I believe
I believe
What You say of me
I believe

Oh, I believe
Yes, I believe
What You say of me
Oh, I believe
