Psalm 5:1-3

New American Standard Bible (NASB)


1Give ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my groaning.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,
For to You I pray.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.




These past 2-3 months, I have been struggling with knowing that I can't do anything to help someone very dear and very close to me. I know I can't make decisions for them. And I fear for what lies ahead for them.

These past few days I've felt like I could scream out my prayers on rooftops, unashamedly letting the whole entire world know just how I feel.

Yet, I say to everyone, "Yea, I'm good. I'm alright. Everything's fine." when inside I'm saying, "Nothing's right. Everything's wrong."



But if there's anything I've learned going through this, Jesus hasn't forsaken them, and He hasn't forsaken me. I know that God's in the unknown, and that He's in the seen. And that He knows and holds my hopes, desires, and dreams. His hand is leading me through the dark, in spite of life feeling so cold and even stark.

To the people that have taken the time to read this, thank you.


The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. When things aren't going right,, don't kid around and say things are alright, find trusted friend to talk.to and that friend should help you seek The presence of God in this time. Pray, have, faith that God will work through you, don't be untrue to how you feel, The Enemy attacks us, in our wraknesses but where we are weak He is strong. He is an ”ever-prezent help.in our times of trouble,' ever-there, God who made you perfectly to feel exactlt how you feel. He is there, your air inside you that you breathe, He is everywhere, always there, our breaths are only allowed as He leads. The Lord leads, littleChrist'sone, 'follow Me.'

Very true, Green. I have talked to friends I trust it with. But this situation is the kind of situation where as much as it kills you, you can't say too much or else it'd become gossip. So sometimes I feel like I almost HAVE to lie and be very indirect. I know that sounds so wrong, and God forgive me for doing so. But sometimes you don't know what else to say, and that's where I do need to pause and ask God to help me out.

These verses come to mind, and, yes, as LIGHTupthesky said, we can know, assuredly, that not only will our faith in Him get us to a blessed assurance of His taking us Home after we die but we can have assurance on the way 'there' as we believe in His truth revealed to us through His Spirit in us living, breathing, showing, counseling, advocating, knowing our best way through the difficult times of our lives; you're young, milady, but like the ZaoHis said, you're an encouragement to many on c.c. and from your putting on pics here, it is evident God's put music on your heart, your playing your gee-tar and all :)

Not sure of your situation and not a need-to-know basis, just letting you know that He knows and He is all you need, as the Katinas sing in 'Draw Me Close,' and, this here verses speak of good things for you to see becoming part of your life as you truly, wholly and holy, with all your heart, seek Him :)

This is for you, littleChrist's one and for all my ladies out there, you are all, miladies, and, though not near you, I are dearly and deeply for God to bless you all with His great Love that NO man will EVER give you, be able to give you, only Him; rest your life and your soul in Him, for He is sooo important, infinitely important to our lives, which do end one day, and, you want that ending to be with great blessings, mostly, gone through of your life on Earth, that you gave others.

This is my commandment, that you love one another, that your joy may be full....

11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity."

So, IF we are captive in our life with something on our mind gnawing at our inside, that the Enemy is causing to well up lies said by us, then, THAT is high time to get down low, on your knees and pray to Him, for He knows your prayers of supplication before you even breathe the first word, He knows, milady, and, just as popclickety referenced, take a deep breath and go to the Lord, to His inner sanctum of Love that is real, the ONLY real out there in our life, that is, the only one who will always be there for you, never ever never let you down, the only One. Mom and dad love you but they TOO will let you down, only God, He will never leave you nor forsake you. Never. Nevermore worry, as Philippians 4 says, 'be anxious for nothing,' wait on Him and when things tear the sky out of your heart, remember, He is the ONLY One who knows your heart, He is in your heart, too, always there, because you chose Him to beat all the bad out of you by His Son's great act on the cross, covering you from all your sins-past, present, future-freeeee :)

I'd say there, I just spoke my mind :D The Lord leads, I will follow Him . John 21:22 "Follow Me." :)

Funny that you called iTOREthesky LIGHTupthesky. There's a song out there by The Afters called "Light Up the Sky" and it would be a song that applies to this situation too. :) (Yes, I can relate almost ANYTHING to a song. :D)

but yes I agree with what you've said. :)

Yes, good Song, littleChristone, it kind of lyrics after your poetic words in your OP, just maybe, through all this pushing and pulling, testing of 'truth' in your mind over this situation in your life now, God wants you to write a song. All in our lives means,something good from Him. The good, The bad, The ugly even, God has all kinds of things in His tugging and pulling us through life, all for the sake of making us holy, for giving us opportunity to pass tezts of faith, that are matters of 'gravity' around us He's set in front of us on the ground for us to get past, to 'overcome.' (Read Rev. 3, for content understanding of what this quoted word means) .

Lil, have you told the person how their decision makes you feel? And why you feel that way?

Even if it doesn't change their mind, they might see things from a different angle, or they'll just know that you love and care about them.
