In Matthew 27:46 we read “About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ). Jesus called on the Lord, especially during His last hour on earth. I am thankful that He draws me close and lightens my load through prayer and music reflection. I love the fact that the Lord speaks to me through Contemporary Christian music. Whatever our time of need may be, it doesn’t matter how big or how small, we can approach Him and lay our requests at His feet.

There are days when I feel like life is getting the best of me and I just start to quietly sing the chorus of this song – Lord I Need You, Oh I need You, every hour I need You. I need God every single second of every single day and sometimes I need to remind myself of this at various points along the day. If I had to give you an anthem for my life it would be – Lord I Need You by Matt Maher.
