Maybe it is the rain. Maybe it's because I'm recovering from a busy weekend away. Maybe it's because one of our closest friends had to have surgery to remove a brain tumor today. Or because one of my best friends is having an extremely difficult battle with breast cancer. Or because I am dealing with chronic back pain and the awful treatments I've been having are proving unsuccessful. Maybe it's because my life feels like utter chaos. Whatever the reason, my heart is heavy, this day is gray and all of my paths seem unclear.
So what do we do in times of stress? When nothing is actually wrong, but the correct direction is uncertain? I am frozen in my frustration, on the verge of depressed discouragement. But I know that this is how the enemy attacks us. He tries to weaken us, stop us from being effective. He brings about confusion to deafen us to the still, small voice that whispers to our soul. So I will pray, and I will sing praises unto Him who gave me breath this day. I will be still and know that He is God. And then I will take one step forward. Any direction is fine, for I know where the Spirit dwells and I need not be afraid. And I am thankful, so very thankful, for the abundance of good in my life.
