'Consecrated ' by Cindy Clark: A Prayer for True Healing


'Consecrated' Cindy Clark is a relatable song, especially if you've faced the dark nights of despair or walked along rocky paths that are filled with personal struggles, such as depression and loss. Cindy's songs are born out of her struggles with depression, chronic pain, addiction, and devastating losses, and even more important, the lyrics point to the healing power that we all may find in singing God's word. 

Cindy Clark - ConsecratedWith 'Consecrated,' Cindy points us to a place of healing and growing our relationship with God. A relationship where we long for more intimacy and more time in His presence. 

Cindy starts each verse with a plea, to be set apart. 'Set me apart to sing your praise I lift up my hands to worship // Open up my ears to hear your voice so I can follow you // I wanna see your beauty // I want to enter in.' Can you already see yourself praising Him and having an intimate conversation with our Savior? 

This is the yearning that Cindy is sharing, a yearning for something so pure that it cancels out all of the noise, and to 'buy salve for my eyes and robes of white' as Cindy sings. It's a genuine desire to live a life for His glory. The great thing about it is that everyone can do this, including you and me! We need to first let God into our hearts, ask Him to change the way we think and how we perceive things, and ask Him to help us remember that we're not alone on this journey… because He is by our side. 

Listen to the message found in 'Consecrated' and allow it to fill your heart with its truth. Cindy encourages you to step closer to God's all-consuming fire, a fire that brings you the deliverance, hope, and consecration that you desire.

(Related scripture: Psalm 51:10; Romans 12:1-2; Revelation 3:18)

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...
