By the time I was writing "God Cares", I was divorced and God was actively delivering me from a relationship that had turned out to be unhealthy in many ways. I didn't realize when God delivers you from something, He doesn't just leave you. He wants to take you to something else, something better if you allow Him. Although I had declared it out loud to God and in song, I didn't surrender my life to Him. I only surrendered the situation to Him. Once He delivered me from that situation, I wanted to take my life back into my own hands. Not knowing what to do and not wanting anyone to know that I was still in a bad place left me feeling lonely. Then I was reminded of David in 1 Samuel 30:6. I began to encourage myself, strengthen myself in the Lord.
