Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.”
Hebrews 11:34 NLT
“Our hope is not based on something that will happen after our sufferings are over, but on the real presence of God’s healing Spirit in the midst of these sufferings.” Henri Nouwen
We are not alone out there with our heartaches and troubles, but we have the almighty God besides us and in us and his promise “He will never leave us or forsake us”. (Deuteronomy 31:6) He is our hope & promise to grasp onto until the morning sunshine of blessings shine through the dark shadows of hopelessness. Time….how long will I have to wait for this light is my thought & question? There were times I thought God had forgotten me and other times my prayers seemed to have wings of angels carrying them directly to the throne of mercy. I do not know the answers but I do know “He will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of His presence and the pleasures of living with Him forever.”
Psalms 16:11 NLT – I must trust Him that He will answer these unanswered prayers in His time and believe that He wants more for me than I do for myself. I find myself singing the following little song many times…..it speaks to my soul.
“This is my Father’s world: Oh, let me ne’er forget; that though the wrong seems oft so strong; God is the ruler yet.” (Song writer).
