I was directed to this song while reading Vanessa Pizzuto's "No Fears", a book that truly resonates and comforts me as an overthinker with the concomitant anxiety and panic attacks. This song is definitely being saved to my "Help Me to Cope, Lord" KZbin Playlist.

What if I forget the lyrics to the chorus of the song I wrote? What if my daughter gets a fever while I'm out here on the road? What if this kind of life I lead is damaging in ways I do not know? What if I can never find a place where I can truly be myself? What if I never chase my dreams and leave them sitting on the shelf? What if I already missed my prime and get passed by for someone else? What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true? What if we have what we need to make it through? There is manna from heaven and mercies new What if God is still here in this desert too? Every morning I am full of hope like Lazarus up from the grave But by the time I fall in bed I'm burdened by a heavy weight From picking up what isn't mine 'til I feel like there's no escape What if I believed that God would meet me in my trouble and my pain And all the truth that's in my head would move down to my heart and then I shall not want for anything and finally be at peace again What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true? What if we have what we need to make it through? There is manna from heaven and mercies new What if God is still here in this desert too? [Interlude] What if all my life I wrestle with my worry and anxiety? What if the thorn deep in my side is only there to help me see That though I never ask for it, the desert is God's gift to me? What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true? What if we have what we need to make it through? There is manna from heaven and mercies new What if God is still here in this desert? God is still here in this desert too Don't mind me; my friend (more like my brother actually) just sent me this song, so I wanted to listen to it with lyrics. He's come so far, I'm super proud of him. Jesus' feelings and truths have finally started to reach him. He said he was saved when Jesus came to him in visions one night. What he shared, though, is not mine to tell. He even said some of it was just for him to know. God is so good, and He does answer prayer! I may have been waiting for this for years, but it's finally here. I can't help but see how God was preparing him for this all along. Just like He did for me. It's funny, sometimes you can't see Him working until you look back with a better perspective. He knows what He's doing. Never give up on praying for your loved ones!

@@mayasammane1878 The Lord is truly worthy of glory and honor! His Holy Spirit blesses me by allowing me the privilege to know Him and His ways better and better by His grace. It brings tears to my eyes, and He gently wipes them away. He is truly beyond comprehension. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try! :-) Our God really is an awe-some God, and all His ways are right. There is no greater honor nor any manner of reward better than to know Him more and to strengthen and tighten our relationship together. Our Father undoubtedly leads us into wisdom and love and security and peace and truth and contentment and affection when He reveals ever more to us what it really means to Him when He says, “My grace is sufficient for you.” There is none like Him, neither in the heavens nor the Earth. No, not among a single thing that has ever been made can one such as Him, the Eternal One who was and is and is to come and the _only_ One whose existence was not caused, be found. That God chose to make you and be your Father, the only flawless Father there ever could be. He knows how to Father His children well, and He shows no favoritism. His love is truly unconditional, unsearchable, and as perfect as all of His ways.

Thank you so much for all of the precious songs that you’ve written. I’m 19, and listening to your music for the past 5 or so years has been such a comfort to me as I’ve grown up. My birth mom passed away when I was almost 5, and even though my dad remarried just a few months later, I didn’t have a close mother-daugher connection. Knowing that there is a mother out there who has such a tender love for her girls and getting to hear a sweet and tangible piece of that love has been so precious. Thank you for sharing that. ❤️

"What if the thorn deep in my side is only there to help me see That though I never ask for it, the desert is God’s gift to me?" Best line in this song. I couldn't help but think of the Israelites lead out into the desert to receive God's blessings that they never really even realized they received. No earth shattering issues, just that life is hard. Thank you for being an encouragement through the real parts of life that no one really talks about.

Hebrews 2:1 So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. He is all around us. In every whisper of the wind. In every lie to remind us of his truth. He's in every stone. Every speck of sand. In every promise. There's no where were we can hide that he's not already there.

You know I do you really love this song. There are other song where the references to God make me not really like some of your other songs. I'm an atheist. However I do really love you music JJ Heller. Religion does help people find the strength within them or if there is a God perhaps God gives it to them. Regardless of the religious context this song is really good and has a good message.

Rendgeno Akuma Repent from your sins and follow Jesus Christ, no one loves you like He does, He died on a cross and rose again to give you eternal life and offer you forgiveness of sins but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Rendgeno Akuma I’m a seeker and I’ve just found this artist. I was raised strict religious Christian...and was put off from it for many years, but always intrigued with the character of Jesus. I liked that he’d interact with those that the religious higher ups would look down on...he rebelled against the religiosity of the Pharisees and actually called them out. I do struggle to wrap my head around God of especially the Old Testament and why things are the way they are. I do like Philip Yancey’s books, like “what good is God” that allows the big questions. I wish I had a lightning bolt knowing...and I’ve definitely prayed. Buddhism has its appeal and I do believe there is a bigger being, purpose...just don’t know what that all is. Anyways, I liked your comment. I appreciate your openness. That’s awesome you’re not judgmental or too stuck, and that you’ll give a song like this a listen :) I was interacting for a brief while with a very rigid atheist...and it was every bit as hard to deal with as a stuck, myopic, fundamentalist Christian (which I honestly don’t think are anything like Christ!😬). I wish you well.
