Why I believe the song Oceans is responsible for the circumstances of this season of my life

Many of you know the song Oceans by Hillsong.  It is a song that has spread like a wildfire around the Christian community in the past couple of years.  I personally think that the reason this song has taken off the way it has is because this song not only talks about trusting God through periods of waiting and unknown circumstances, but also cries out to God to take his people to a place where all they have is God and all they can do is rely on God.

The Bridge of this song states:

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet have ever wandered
And my faith would be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior..."

The lyrics of this bridge have become a prayer for me: a prayer that God has answered.  Looking back and reflecting over the places God has led me over the past year in a half is proof that God has answered this prayer.  I have been to three different schools in the past two years and I am about to start at my fourth school a week from today.  I also just spent my summer in a brand new place in a somewhat uncomfortable situation.  There has been very little consistency in my life for the past two years.  The only thing that has remained constant in my life is God.  But I guess, what else do I really even need?

Although God has been leading me into all of these new and unknown situations, I really do believe that my faith has been made stronger just like this song says.  Every situation that I encounter prepares me to stand through the next one.

The weirdest thing about my newest transition is that although I have moved back 'home' to where I grew up and to where my family lived for the majority of my life, this is seemingly the hardest transition I have had to face so far.  However, God has already been proving faithful in this situation and I know He will continue to do so!

God has truly been leading me to deeper places than I have ever been, and that is why I believe the song Oceans is responsible for the circumstances of this season of my life.
