Hopeful

I am tired, I am sad but I am hopeful. This sickness drags me down and tries to stump me but I remain strong with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7 Wait? Who likes to wait? I pray and read but I don’t want to bother God. Whose lie is that? Deep down inside I know he doesn’t mind my interruptions because they are not. He calls me to pray about anything. I am so grateful for His faithfulness. Sometimes I ask Him if He’s there and sweet as he is and responds in His own unique way. For example this morning He sent as swift breeze. The birds are around but quiet as I open the bible to Psalm 42 …God why have you forsaken me? Why must I go about mourning and oppressed by the enemy?

We don’t have to. I know we may stumble but we must remember that He wants to make us smile and fill us with His joy. As I read His promises in Psalm 91, it makes me smile: “I dwell in the shelter of the Most High. I will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Surely He will save me from the fowler’s snare and the deadly pestilence.” WOW! What a promise. He will get me through these difficulties and cover me with his feathers and under His wings I will find refuge. How beautiful!
