What are you going to do? I don’t know…. Circumstances are not what I expected. People are doubting me. Doubting my good intentions. Some accusing me of things that are totally false.
Ever felt like that? Ever had to fight day after day to find ANY joy? Felt like everything about your life is waist deep in drying cement? Satan’s minions have a field day in this setting… doing their best to keep us focused on the negatives. Liars. Because “.. surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life…” Though, in an odd way we learn a lot more in the difficult times… ..hmmm..God’s way of getting our attention?
Unless I’m in the middle of experiencing the loss of a loved one or some other major trauma most of these uncomfortable/painful/almost hopeless times are really only momentary. Sometimes looooonnnng moments of discomfort… but still brief compared to eternity.
I’m finding it helpful not to start a new day by dragging yesterday’s pain/disappointments into it. Ha! I could’ve used this wisdom 20 years ago… But, if I dwell on that I’ll be dragging 20 years of unneeded negatives into a brand new shiney day!
Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.
