Oh God, how can my heart be tearing in two. How can it be so painful I can't breath. How do I function ok one moment and the next I am huddled sobbing in a corner because of a glance at a picture or a wift of a smell. How do I sob through a Bible story about God's presence not in the wind, earthquake, or lightening, but in the still whisper of silence with my son patting my shoulder trying to comfort me as I am trying to comfort him. The reality is setting in in glances and moments, and giant tidal waves that threaten to drown me... and yet I cling to the soft still voice and the rock that promises shelter in the shadow of His wings.
Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me.
Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. - Psalm 69:15-17
The steadfast love of The Lord NEVER ceases!!
ReplyDeleteI know this is different, but during my divorce Stan kept repeating to me session after session, "you will be ok", and eventually I was. Kelly the Lord knows how you are feeling, loss, fear, devestated, hopeless, but He will bring you through this, He will not let your head go under the waves, and one day you will be ok too. Cast your burdens in Jesus, for He cares for you.
ReplyDeleteYour faith is beautiful and inspiring. This is what will keep your head above water. When the waves are crashing it seems so hopeless but this storm will pass. The storms always pass.
