On Him I will stand!

It has been a month since my mothers accident, I had hoped that she would be recovered more than she has at this point and time. People have been asking me how I have been doing, the best description that I can give is that I am up to my neck in deep waters. David wrote some feelings that I have been also dealing with.

Psalm 69 "Save me, o God, for the waters have come up to my neck. I sink into the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come to the deep waters; the floods engulf me. I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God."

I would not say that I am drowning, but I am up to neck. I realize that God is my Rock, on whom I should stand. My prayer, is to trust Him, so that I can rest in Him.
To be able to fully put all of the painful circumstances that are facing my family into His hands. To know and to trust in a God who can do more than me.

So if you are like me, keep pressing in, even when it hurts. May God be glorified, and may we take the hand of the Father who is leading us to quiet waters!

Be Still.....

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams are made glad the city of God, the Holy place where the most high dwells.
God is with her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day.....
Be still and know that I am God....

It is hard to be still when all you want to do is fix someone. I want my mom to be healed. I want her to not suffer. I want to talk with her and have her smile and talk with me. I miss that.

Please pray with me for complete healing for my mom.
