I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,I've definitely been waiting for the Lord to help me and give more hope for the future. Sometimes I feel so far down, and it's not in depression like they speak of in this verse, but sorrow. I know what depression is like and I do not want to go back to that place. I will seek help before I get that far down. One positive thing that I can tell you, I still am able to sing to God and believe that is one thing that has gotten me through.
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along. (NLT)
My prayers right now range from things like hearing about our house, that my hcg would drop so I can get testing to figure out what clotting disorder I have, finding a job as a CNA, having a child of our own, growing even closer with my husband in our own home, and for my period to be here in 4 to 6 weeks. (And to be blessed by our tax refund!) So many things on my mind, yet trying to give anxieties to God.
Now to focus on school work and laundry. Blessed to be able to pursue an education and have a washer and laundry soup, even if I do feel whiny about having to do such things.

ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. I always want to hear people's stories so that I can be praying for them... I remember the days of fresh grief from my two miscarriages and it is a good reminder of what God has blessed me with!
I will be praying for you. Glad to hear that you are still singing!
"For men are not cast off by the LORD forever. Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." -Lamentations 3:31-33
