Leaning On The Promises of God


     Well the time has come for my DD#2's day in court, literally. I hate to admit it but I am going into tomorrow with some dread and concern. There is so much hinging on the outcome of tomorrow.
     Will my DD#2 be allowed to come home?
     Will she go to jail?
     Will she be committed to a state Hospital?
     Will she be found guilty or innocent?
     Will I loose custody of her?
     These feelings I am having is more then just a common reaction to my surroundings and the events going on in my life. They go against the very faith in how I choose to live by. My favorite Bible verse and the one I lean on the most is Philippians 4:13 " I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me" doesn't seem to give me comfort, tonight.
     I know that my faith is Jesus Christ has been my cornerstone for the past 7+ years. Things and events in our lives had tried to shake and move that cornerstone more then once, but Praise God, it has not been moved. I know deep down in my heart that it will once again, not be moved, but the enemy has not given up yet, he keeps on trying. I am having a difficult time trying to convince my brain that it needs make the 18 inch plummet and line up with my heart.
     Sitting here thinking and searching within, I am reminded of an old song (songs play a HUGE part of my life) from growing up, "Bless The Lord". For those who do not know the words:
       
         Bless the Lord
         Oh my soul
         And all that is within me
         Bless His holy Name
        
         Bless the Lord
         Oh my soul
         And all that is within me
         Bless His holy Name
        
         He has done great things
         He has done great things
         He has done great things
         Bless His holy Name

So as those thoughts and questions begin to sneak into my head, I pray that the Lord push's them over with yet another song about how He will provide, protect and show His mercy for those who love him. He can do the same for anyone who seeks Him...... "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7.
