A to Z Challenge O is for Open the Eyes of my Heart, On Eagles Wings and Our Unmet Needs

Today I am starting with a contemporary Christian song that is popular among all paths of the faith.  The song is titled Open the Eyes of my Heart this song is about transformation from one who lives for their own needs to one who is open to the needs of others, of being able to reach out and help lift up others.

Another song that I used to sing all the time is On Eagles Wings A song of being lifted up by God.  This version is sung by Michael Crawford, best known as The Phantom of the Opera  In Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the same name.

Now we come to a book, by one of the most insightful writers Pastor Charles Stanley and his book Our Unmet Needs Dr. Stanley breaks this book down and helps us look inside to define our needs, what does work and what does not and perhaps one of the most insightful chapter Ten Reasons we Experience a Delay  

In this chapter we learn what leads to the delay of resolving the needs we all have.
He talks about How issues such as Our attempts to manipulate the outcome, instead of trusting that God will come through for us we attempt to on our own manipulate circumstances in our life to bring about the result,

Another aspect is that we have the wrong motivation for what we are asking for,we put a need of the flesh ,(Power,Money, Success,Sex) as what we are attempting to obtain instead of Financial security to avoid losing ones home or for the benefit of our family,  If we are selfish the need may never be met.

The book is 253 pages and is well worth reading.
