Sinister stranger

3:52 PM - When I feel so weighed down because I can't find the answers Current mood: determined
This is a letter my mom wrote to my brother whom is having a hard time right now. For all you prayer warriors and even you who dont pray that often, please say a prayer for my family. And read this and may you be blessed with the incredible wisdom of God's word. I find myself feeling lost lately because of all these changes and not knowing whats going to happen next.. its terrifying. But then God gently reminds me that He is here and when it comes down to it, He is all I need to get through this life. And if it is in His will, He will give me the desires of my heart.

pslams 30: Its as though a sinister stranger comes knocking on your door you must let him in for he knocks insistantly and will not go away. He is sorrow personified. You believe no one sees your tears and you feel all alone. But God sees them and He understands. "All night I make my bed swim. I drench my couch with tears." David said in Psalm 6. "The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. You number my wanderings, put my tears into your bottle. Are they not in your book?" Though "weeping may endure for a night" it is a transient house guest, for "joy comes in the morning." We remember, as David did, that God's love and favor lasts for a lifetime. He has promised never to leave us or forsake us. When God's love comes into our thoughts our feelings of sorrow and dread flee. Our morning has turned into dancing, our garmets of sack cloth and sorrow are stripped away and we are girded with gladness. We can rise to greet the day with shouts of ringing praise for his mercy, guidance, and protection. We rejoice in His holy name. No matter our circumstances, lets sing to to Lord once again.
