Today has been especially for me . I am facing a uncertainfuture and am not really sure what to do. You see, my family right now has some issues, some things that are taking place that are just not right. I cannot really go into detail, but suffice it to say, it is literally killing me to keep silent about it. I want so much to shout out "This is not right!" or to cry "How can you do this and think it is OK?," but I cannot. The Lord has called me to be quiet on the subject, to wait, to watch, and to listen for His movement. I want so much to just jump in and stir the pot, to vent, to voice my feelings and opinions, but I cannot.
How do you trust the Lord when you are facing a situation that has no certain resolution? I know Him and I trust Him. I believe Him when He tells me that it will be OK. I know in my heart of hearts that He will see me through, He will vindicate me, He will validate all that I am feeling now. He is the lifter of my head, He is my souls-keeper, He is my valuation. I have no value in anything but in Him. I cost nothing, I count myself as lost, because He has saved me. I am whole because He has made me whole. My entire being belongs to Him and He has called me worthy. Therefore, I can do nothing apart from Him. If He says to wait, I must wait. If He says to go, I must go. If He tells me to speak, I will speak. Until He permits it, I simply have to TRUST in Him and know that He knows precisely what He is doing. I am praising God now even in this time of sorrow. I am believing in miracles, believing that my life has purpose, and that everything will work out just as He has promised me. It is so hard to trust, to simply rely upon the Lord. The Amplified states it this way: to trust -- believe in, rely upon, adhere to, leaning one's entire personality (soul) upon. My mind is struggling, my heart is fainting, but I am confidently trusting, relying, adhering to, and leaning all that is me (my soul, my mind, my personality, my strength) upon the Lord. He will see me through, He will deliver me, He will keep me in the shelter of His Mightly wings. He is Gracious and Merciful to Me. He is the lover of my soul and I cry out to Him: Abba, Father...hear my cry! Posted by; Carol H, Posted on 11/05/09, 05:11 am |

I wish I could give you some solace or comfort. If it is not illegal than go to the serenity prayer. That always helps me. Take Care!
