There is something about Lauren Daigle’s song Rescue that stops by heart every time I hear it. I think we all need to be reminded that God is seeking us out, has our back, is ready to catch us if we are falling and always wants to rescue us. Read these lyrics, listen to the song, and be reminded that God has you in the palm of his hand and he is not going to let go.

You are sitting with the weight of motherhood on your shoulders. The decisions on your plate feel like too much, you don’t know how you got here. How can God expect you to walk through this? You feel alone.
You are not hidden
There’s never been a moment
You were forgotten
You are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolen
He’s your son. As you sit in the hospital room for one more test hoping to lead to one more answer, you feel empty.
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS
When you tuck him in to bed, read his favorite bedtime story, all you can do is close your eyes and drift off to sleep. You have nothing left to even pray.
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
When you wake up, you don’t feel rested. You just hope to make it through one more day.
There is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
I’ll be your armor
The laundry in the corner, the dishes in the sink and the work waiting at your desk, remind you that you don’t get to stop. This is life now.
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
I hear the whisper underneath your breath
I hear you whisper, you have nothing left
It’s when the tears finally come that you fall to the floor, unsure how to ask for help, where to look, how to be strong anymore.
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
Oh, I will rescue you
It’s in that moment that you finally listen to the still small voice and you hear Him say, “I’m here. I know it’s hard right now” and you finally realize you don’t have to do it alone.
