Lord, I Need You

One of the hikes that we did at Zion was called Hidden Canyon. It put us out of our comfort zone particularly because there were many times that the path was right along steep cliffs that opened up to the canyon below. Sometimes it seemed like the only thing keeping us from falling to our death in the canyon was a chain attached to the rock that we clung to. It made me nervous(and made my mom even more nervous!) but as I have reflected on the experience, I keep thinking of the times in my life when it seemed like the only thing that kept me from falling to despair was clinging to Jesus. During difficult times, it's easy to see how much we need God, but I often forget that I am nothing without the Lord; that I need Him each and every day. I love this video of Matt Maher performing his song, "Lord, I Need You" at World Youth Day. It is such a beautiful reminder that we are all in need of the Lord. That when we say yes to His will, we don't have to worry about falling into the abyss below because God will catch our fall. That in Him we are truly free.
