I Need Your Prayers~

My walk with Jesus has made me strong. Yet~ today as I peg these computer keys with the death of my father still fresh on my mind I am waiting in my Momma's hospital room while she gets another CT scan~my daughter is hundreds of miles away calling needing motherly advice because my little grandson is sick for the first time with the flu and a few other issues I will not bore you with are weighing on my mind like a ton of bricks. If only that guardian angel of mine could help carry a little of my load today.

 It appears that my Mom has been very sick for a long time. But our "suck it up and deal with it mentality" hid the truth from us. Even the Doctors have not seen through our we are just fine attitude. The truth is she is sick and we need your prayers.

For the first time in my life ~ my strength seems to be gone. The Lord has given me sweet peace and I know He will carry me through. Life sure gets hard to handle but God sure is good.

Psalm 131

 ¹Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
 ²Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
 ³Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

As I sit here reading this passage~ I am encouraged to understand that mystery is one of the hallmarks of God's character. It has challenged me to let my mind rest~since I am unable to understand all that God is doing in the universe let alone in my little corner of this big old world.

I read in these verses and see the other side of King David's calm spirit: I am unable to understand all that God is doing in me~ and it is impossible to try.

David draws a picture between a weaned child that no longer frets for what it once demanded~and a soul that has learned the same lesson. I think maybe it is  a call to humility, endurance and contentment in all circumstances.  Even when it it is so hard~ and I don't understand God's reasons. Although I wish it were not so~ divine reason is beyond my grasp.

I cry out and ask God~ "Why this anguish?" The Father gently replies "Hush child. You wouldn't understand it if I explained it to you. Just trust Me!.

SO this morning feeling overwhelmed with life I turn to David's example~ Can I trust God in my circumstances? Can I find hope in the Lord? Can I in faith and patience without fretting and questioning trust God's wisdom? Can I trust Him while He works His good in my family's lives?  Can I trust Him for His good and acceptable and perfect will?

The answer is yes for this moment!
