We all have our struggles….for some its hoping to have independence….today Patsy Clairmont’s son is taking his first hours off a ventilator and will see if he can swallow anymore…he’ll sit for the first time in weeks…he struggles for life.
My friend in Arkansas has beaten cancer for five years now….she struggles to believe and affirm in herself that it will never come back, and even if it does, that God is God and He has a plan….
Down the street a family struggles to let go of dreams of “making it” now that his plant has been shut down and their retirement and immediate future will change dramatically.
We all struggle….to find peace in God….to allow ourselves to find contentment in all things…..to let go and let God as the mantra of the Seventies went….
I am struggling again today….my struggle seems so meaningless compared to the battles others are facing….but it is mine never the less…
a struggle to listen and be obedient to God’s whisperings….to believe what has come is indeed what God knew we would face…to know that God is our provider, our Healer, and our Light and to not fear the path He lights or His path brings….a struggle to be disciplined enough to do what needs to be done…to continually seek peace and contentment while its being done…without fear….
“For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” Hebrews 13:5
Thanks for your comment over at Going Beyond today. I hear your post today loud and clear…for all our struggles (and this year has been a biggie), they are small in comparison to what others face. I'm so glad that God is with us in the midst of it all –He daily meets us where we are at and lifts our burdens. He is our peace and I cling to that.
Bless you today!!!
Struggling seems to be the story of my life. I struggle with so many things I could not even begin to list them.
