This song just spoke to me, and captured some of my feelings today.
My life has led me down the road that’s so uncertain
And now I am left alone and I am broken,
Tryin’ to find my way, tryin’ to find the faith that’s gone
This time, I know that you are holding all the answers
I’m tired of losing hope and taking chances,
On roads that never seem,
To be the ones that bring me home
Give me a revelation,
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been tryin’ to find my way,
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here,
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without You
My life has led me down this path that’s ever winding
Through every twist and turn I’m always finding,
That I am lost again (I am lost again)
Tell me when this road will ever end
Give me a revelation,
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been tryin’ to find my way,
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here,
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without
I don’t know where I can turn
Tell me when will I learn
Won’t You show me where I need to go
Oh oh
Let me follow Your lead,
I know that it’s the only way that I can get back home
Give me a revelation,
Show me what to do
Cause I’ve been trying to find my way,
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here,
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without You
Oh, give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without You
I’ve got nothing without You
How does your Christian wife feel about your doubt? I’m single and feel as if I should be more grounded in what I believe before finding a wife.
My wife has been very supportive through my doubt. As I’m getting close to 14 years of marriage one thing that has gotten us through the tough times is communication. People change over time, but communicating and discussing issues helps marriages adapt and evolve through those changes. You may never be firmly grounded in what you believe, but an open and honest discussion with a possible future wife will strengthen and grow a relationship. To be honest about your doubt will make your vulnerable and open, which is necessary for love to flourish.
I am no way saying being unequally yoked is the ideal situation. However, through this, our marriage has grown deeper and stronger, and we have become more open about our secrete feelings and beliefs. There is also an excellent blog that is compiling a list of blogs addressing these issues.
This song has struck a chord with me as well…particularly b/c the “do I need to move” verse is right on with us – we have considered moving.
