There times in my life when I feel like I am going through the valley of the shadow of death. Times when I feel lonely as I fight spiritual battles that even my extremely loving and caring husband sometimes does not understand, I have experienced spiritual fears in my life, I have battled with insomnia to the point of feeling depressed and many other countless battles, things are not always rosy and I have always trusted God for strength and grace.
But you know what...I am so thankful to God.
He holds my heart
I am thankful that I can hold on to His promises that never fail
I am thankful that I can hold on to His word -the sword of the Spirit
I am so THANKFUL to God, for taking me through what I would call phases of dark times
and like David, leading me beside still waters!
Wooh! He restores my soul. I think sometimes you may never understand what it means to restore a soul until you go through the dark times and walk through some kind of valley of the shadow of death
Thank you Lord-for even though I have dark times in my life! You are with me! No greater support would any wife/mother/women need. You are my kiss of heaven!
These are the lyrics to the song-"I know I have made a promise by the martins" May they bless you today.
“Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep
My grace will be sufficient in your time of need
My love will be the anchor that you can hold on to
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you”
My grace will be sufficient in your time of need
My love will be the anchor that you can hold on to
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you”
hi sis, i feel uplifted after reading your mail. I am at work at 7.00 pm and missing my family sana. I have gone back to psalms 23 and verses 4 is really that encouraging'Even though I walk through the shadow of death I will fear no evil, your rod and staff they comfort me.'
ReplyDeleteI love Psalms 62 vs 1,2. "My soul finds rest in God alone,my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation He is my fortess, I shall never be shaken."
Lets soldier on.
I love this post! Thank you. I relate in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteI love that song by the Martins.It is so reassuring of God's promise, He doesn't say that tough times will not be there though He guarantees that he will carry us through. That alone gives me strength to carry on.
ReplyDeleteI can also identify with what you are saying because I was in that valley last week, but the storm is over now. Hallelujah!
