Rediscover You

Rediscover You
by: Starfield

I need to just admit
my faith is paper thin
I'm feeling so burned out
On religion

I say an empty prayer
I sing a tired song
I need to just admit that the passion's gone

And I want to get it back

You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You

I want to learn to pray
The way that David prayed
I want my soul to burn when I hear Your name
I want to feel like new
I want to hunger for you
Bring me back to life like only You can do
Cause I don't want to stay the same

You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You

Lord, I want to be Yours today
I want to know the passion of the saints
And how they were changed

You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move

I want to burn for You
Bring me back to life, Jesus
Help me rediscover You


To truly understand what it means to ‘Rediscover’ God we must know what the word means. The word ‘Rediscover’ means to find out about, or to recognize or realize or to even become aware of something that has been there all along or to remember and find something good or valuable that had been forgotten or lost. Right now I just want us to forget about anything that is going on in our lives that is keeping us from genuinely worshiping God. May we rediscover that Our God is A God who is fully worthy of our praise and come to the table with all of our troubles and worries and remember that Jesus has taken our sins away and that He is holding us and taking care of us when we feel that the tough times are just too hard. And when we remember that may we step back and look in awe of a God of wonders, a God of Grace, and a God of Love. At this time when we partake of the bread and blood may we rediscover the true importance of this life, this ministry that Jesus calls us to be a part of. For us to realize that we are not perfect but we get to be a part of a ministry that leads imperfect people to the one and only divine perfect One. But also at this time may we rediscover the passion that we had when we first began this walk with God. I know for me that this life gets the best of me sometimes and all I can do is just fall to my knees at the feet of Jesus and rediscover who He is in my life. And may we rediscover that God has compassion for His people and that he loves us so very much. The Greek word for ‘Rediscover’ is Anagnorisis (an-ag-nawr-uh-sis) and it means ‘to know again’ so may we rediscover and come to know again that in the good times and bad. God forgives and He loves us.

From the song it says “I want to learn to pray the way that David prayed” this is one of the many lines in the song that jumps out at me. David is a man of true faith, a man after God's own heart. When I think of David, I think of his true, honest and deep prayers to God. Two prayers of David that have been really made known to me in these past couple of weeks are in Psalm 13 and in Psalm 51. In Psalm 13 David prays a prayer of desperation and pleading to God. David is making an honest cry of dependence upon God then finishes with an offering of thanksgiving and gratitude

Psalm 13
1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.

In Psalm 51 David prayed this prayer of confession to God after the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba

1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts;
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

May we pray the way that David prays, being brutally honest and open with God about everything. God blesses us with the opportunity to talk to Him; Prayer, if anything is truth, it’s being honest with our maker. And for David, prayer is so much more than just words, it is David pouring out everything within him to God, may we learn to pray this way. May we rediscover today who God is in our lives today!
