Simple but so difficult
I haven’t worked on a blog in a while
as some may have noticed. Things in my life as I have mentioned before
are falling apart rapidly. If you see me in person, I could use a hug and
prayer more than you could ever know. I’m not really talking about what’s
going on. I keep coming back to these certain verses in Psalm 42 and 43.
They are simple but so difficult to apply. Lately I walk through my
days praying asking God for some sense of purpose because I feel like I have
none. My life changed drastically in October. The changes have
shaken me to the very core of my being. I struggle with day-to-day things
and the mundane a lot. At the end of Psalm 42 and 43 they have the exact
same verses that say this.
“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart
so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my
Savior and my God!”
There will come times in your life when
things just fall apart, and circumstances are just so far from any sense of
control. You have to choose where to turn. Daily I have to choose
to seek God. I don’t always get it right. The sad and discouraging
part in these verses I can relate to so much lately.
This is something else you and I need
to remember.
Psalm 46:1-3
“God is our refuge and strength,
Always ready to help in times of
trouble.
So we will not fear when earthquakes
come and the mountains crumble into the sea.
Let the oceans roar and foam. Let
the mountains tremble as the waters surge!”
There are days I just have to remind
myself that God is still in control. If I don’t I lose my sanity. I
don’t know what battle you may be mentally and emotionally facing but you need
to remember that. This is a blog geared for Hope and I struggle with
needing it myself.
