Life is, I mean.
Yeah.
~life
Life. that thing that you sometimes want to run from, but
obviously can’t since it just follows you around.
Right now I feel like my life is kinda sorta just crashing
around me…
I know that this year, as great a start as it seems to have
had, is probably going to be hard, again.
I want to run and hide from it. from my problems. I know
they are coming but I don’t feel ready to face them… I don’t want to face them.
I wanna just hibernate. if that were possible.
I cant run and hide though. I have to stand up and face it.
I’ve decided to face things head on.
Since I cant run and hide, ive decided to prepare myself. to
arm myself. to mentally get myself ready to face whatever.
This is my prayer:
Lead me, O LORD,
in thy
righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my
face.
~Psalms 5:8
This is what gives me my confidence:
The LORD hath heard my supplication;
the LORD will receive my prayer.
~Psalms 6:9
This is Gods promise
to me:
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
~Isaiah 26:3
This is what I am
going to do:
Trust ye in the LORD for ever:
for
in the LORD JEHOVAH
is everlasting strength:
~ Isaiah 26:3-4
Aw, Hannah, I'm sorry! But I like your attitude. Recently I was facing something that just made me want to run away. Not like I would literally run away from home or even think about it, but I was feeling really discouraged. Then I heard a good message on how David ran from his problems (Saul) and ended up in Gath, the Philistines' territory... definitely the wrong place. So even though sometimes I feel like "but it's not really my problem," I was encouraged to stay where I am and fight the battle for the Lord. It's good character building. Stay faithful!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that I still haven't written you a letter! I told you I was going to... around November, wasn't it? I'm horrible. Okay, hopefully I'll get it done this week. :)
Love,
Alison
