#-I need the Father

Perhaps I need to learn patience now. The ability to wait on someone , no matter how long it takes. I cannot expect things to get go back to the way they were before, because it may never be the same again. I never knew anyone could cause me to be so down, never knew I could be affected on such a deep level, but it seems to me that one person did just that. Again, Amy Carmichael's poem calls out to me, just in case God decides to take this away. What rich reward that guerdon were. I know God has a plan for me in this. I have noone to lean on now besides Him alone.

My faith is all I have, faith that I fit into a perfect plan, faith that all things are possible. I have faith in a loving God, in the One who feels my pain. I put my faith in the One who carries me through all circumstances, in the only One who knows what is going on.

I am hard-pressed on all sides, but not crushed, persecuted, not abandoned. Struck down but not destroyed. Now I just have to cinvince myself of that.

In Proverbs16:9 it says, "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determine his steps." So please Lord Jesus, guide my steps. Be a light unto my feet and a lamp unto my path. I need You Father.
