Trials & Tribulations-Leaning on God through tough times

Time weighs heavy on my mind when I think of all the time wasted waiting for something to happen. I try to understand why everything seems to be falling apart around me. I struggle to make myself heard above the din of everyday life. I ache for those that are "drowning" in a sea of despair waiting for a lifeline. Will I be that lifeline? No, I won't. I can't do it by myself. I have to lean on God. I know that only he can see me through these trials and tribulations.

It's hard waiting. You want to do something, anything to pass the heavy burden that seems to weigh you down. Wasted time and energy sap your strength. You wonder will anything ever be the same again. Tightly you close your eyes against the ugly images that want to claim your sanity. You know the devils of this world want to lead you away. They whisper in your ear that you are worthless and alone, when you know you're not either.

Lift up your head, see your salvation coming in the form of a small baby born in a lowly manger. Wow! With God, nothing is impossible. Without him, nothing is possible.
