new twist to an old story

Well my life has taken a new twist in the past week - something pretty unexpected so now I need to shift gears and change a mind set.  It involved pain and some heartache but as I said before in that wilderness - how am I going to deal with it?   I can so feel prayers of my close people as things are feeling better inside, but have to rely on God for each moment of every day - if I lose sight of Him, I go down.  Reminds me of a song by Twila Paris called "The Warrior is a Child".  Sometimes people think I am strong and I can be, but sometimes the warrior in me runs home when I fall down, and it gets hard to get up again and again.  God is in Control and He sees all & knows all before we do and we can fall into His arms to be comforted and get a big pep talk to go out again.  I can't do this on my own - always need His help.

Easier Said than Done

I recently talked about wildernesses we go through in life.  As long as we are here on earth, we will always
have them.  The question is:   will we be better or bitter for going through them?  It is so hard to lay all those cares we have on God.  If we could just realize that He already knows what we are feeling and even more
He knows the outcome.   Picture Him sitting in a chair and we are standing before Him telling Him all about
our troubles.   He so patiently would listen and then say perhaps - "My child - I already know and I am here for you no matter what - to love you, comfort you, heal you, guide you, BUT you have to let those worries go.  They do you no good, but to steal your peace and make you unable to take care of the things that are most important to Me.  I need you to remember Whose you are and what You are here for - to show others about that peace that you have, that peace that nothing else compares to."    
And yet it is easier said than done because we often say after many tears and turmoil within ourselves, we say "Ok God, I will trust You  in this situation......(and a pause here) .....BUT I think it would be good for me to do this or that to help things go faster or better"   Let go with both hands!!!  I for one have come through a situation here or there and said  - I worried for nothing.  If I had just trusted God in the first place, and let Him do His work in the best way possible as He does, I would have not suffered so much trying to do things my way.  There is a verse I just came across from Psalms 94:18-19.  "Your love , O Lord, supported me,  When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought joy to my soul'  All we have to do is ask.   I KNOW - it is easier said than done.
