God Speaks

I feel like I've hit an all-time low. It's almost a spiritual dark depression. Nothing's making sense, I want out of all sorts of things I should be in, I'm constantly irritated and unable to love. I guess I've been questioning everything and everyone. It's VERY unlike me.

Then this morning I was doing my usual blog-trawl through my ever-growing list of daily reads. One I added recently is Our Daily Blog, and as the page loaded God Spoke!

"MY CHILD, I am the Lord Who gives strength in the day of trouble. Come to Me when all is not well with you. Your tardiness in turning to prayer is the greatest obstacle to heavenly consolation, for before you pray earnestly to Me you first seek many comforts and take pleasure in outward things. Thus, all things are of little profit to you until you realize that I am the one Who saves those who trust in Me, and that outside of Me there is no worth-while help, or any useful counsel or lasting remedy.

"But now, after the tempest, take courage, grow strong once more in the light of My mercies; for I am near, says the Lord, to restore all things not only to the full but with abundance and above measure. Is anything difficult for Me? Or shall I be as one who promises and does not act? Where is your faith? Stand firm and persevere. Be a man of endurance and courage, and consolation will come to you in due time. Wait for Me; wait -- and I will come to heal you..."

++Lord, I'm waiting.
Feel my tears, hear my heart-groan, see my emptiness.
I'm waiting eagerly for a change of heart,
for light at the end of this terribly dark tunnel.
I can't feel You, I can't see You, but You've said You're there.
And so I wait.++
