I heard the song "It is Well With my Soul" yesterday, and I wanted to be able to tell the Lord that what He is doing in my life is well with my soul, but I couldn't. I have had a hard few weeks lately, and truthfully, there is no reason to not trust that the Lord is at work. My job is REALLY challenging, and I have felt under attack by the enemy in every area of my life. My heart has been hurting, and I feel that I wake up with a lack of joy. I was laying in bed last night, and I felt the Lord whispering over me that I was rescued and I am being rescued by Him alone. I look to friends and anything I can find to make me feel significant and to make me forget my hurting heart, but it is the Lord who wants to rescue me from the attacks of the enemy and who wants to rescue me in the midst of the storm. My hearts desire is to be able to praise Him despite the "winter" I am going through because He is a RESCUER and He is GOOD!
Here are some verses the Lord has been sweetly speaking to my heart:
Psalm 13
"How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? But I will trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord's praise, for He has been good to me."
Psalm 81
"In my distress, I called and you RESCUED me."
