Anyway

I was sitting in church yesterday when I heard the song Anyway by Martina McBride sung by the worship team and for some reason it really struck me. In a nut shell the song is about persevering despite not always knowing the results or the results not being what you expected. The chorus sums up how we as Christ-follower should face our daily struggles:

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

Sometimes in life we face situations that in short suck. The thing that we need to remember is that God is Great and with His wisdom and guidance we can persevere.  It is the same thing when we pray. God doesn't always answer like we think He should, but that isn't the point. God wants us to pray not with a with lists, but with a desire to build and strengthen our relationship with Him.

The song encourages us to build, dream, love and sing - anyway. We need to put ourselves out there - win, loose or draw. We also need to keep in mind no matter the results - God is great, but sometimes life ain't good - just do it anyways. Go ahead and dream, build, love and sing - anyway!
