It really actually felt like hell this past week with temperatures of over 100 degrees. I didn't get by unscathed or untouched. Right now I'm dealing with something I'm not sure I have the strength to face. It has affected how I'm living right now. I'm trying to find hope that things will clear up. It is scary, I have to admit.
I hear of friends going through trials. I feel for them. It isn't easy to keep a smile on your face when you're going through a particularly hard trial. You wonder why. There doesn't seem to be any easy answers. You tell yourself that things just have to get better for all of us. Yet every day it seems that things are getting worse.
It doesn't matter. You tell yourself. Maybe I am just fooling myself to keep handing onto hope. No, my God knows me. It does matter. Hope can bloom in a vacuum. I hang onto the Lord's promises for a good life. He won't give me anything that I can't handle.
I am admittedly scared. It is hard to know what to do. Even after so long a time, I miss my Dad. He would know what to do. At least I like to think he would.
It won't be long some people say. I am living now in the hope of the Lord's return. I am finding hope in God's word. I can stand on his promises for my life even when I'm scared. I confess my fear to the Lord. He takes it away.
I pray for healing. This old world needs it.
