We've all been there, those situations in life when our prayers feel empty, our strength is gone, and all we can whisper is, "Lord, I need more of You." That's the real heart of Michael Encarnacion's song, "More of You." Michael shares, "This song came during a time when someone close to me was drifting away, and I didn't know what to do, I tried everything in my power but realized I couldn't do this on my own."
Isn't this a truth that we all need to understand better? So, ask yourself, when life is bright, do you still want more of Him? When you're broken, do you still reach for Him? The song not only shows us a way forward to Him, but it also holds up a mirror to see our mess, "Sometimes my mind drifts away… I've got no strength to pray." But the song doesn't end there. It moves us to focus on surrender. To trust God. To worship Him, even when you don't feel like it.
The song isn't about finding ways to feel good (although feeling good can be the result). Its intent is about choosing God, even when you're feeling empty. Even when you're feeling tired. Even when you don't understand what's happening or why. "I thank You, Jesus—cause I need more of You." Say it together with Michael. Let this small prayer sink in.
May this small prayer change you. May it remind you that your weakness isn't your barrier… it's your doorway to God. "Lord, I need more of You!"
