When it hurts...

When you're dealing with a loss it hurts.
It may be a loved one.
A broken marriage.
A fractured relationship.
Children rebelling.
Car broke down.
Loss of a job.
Financial debt.
Distance that's just too great in size.
Whatsoever it may be, it hurts.... a lot!

I often pray God, I need Your direction. I'm all over the place. 

I wonder why He doesn't show me where I'm going at times. Days pass we grow impatient and weary and we lose sight of Him. But He, never loses sight of us! When you reflect back on the year so far, whether it be scarred with painful thoughts or flowered with wonderful memories, think of how the "not knowing" has been a blessing in and of itself.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

-Psalms 143:8
