Mercy

 I will sing of your mercy

That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy

 And though the pain is an ocean,

You have calmed greater waters;
Higher mountains have come down

--Jars of Clay

I'm about at my breaking point with all that is going on around me. Even though this is an uncomfortable--and completely bewildering--place to be, I know this is where I need to be.

I feel as though the breath has been knocked out of me and I am gasping, just waiting for it to return. 

His ways are not my ways and his knowledge goes far beyond mine. Life is relentless and I'm just thankful that I have a God in whom I can take refuge. My family, and my spirit seem to be getting attacked from every corner. There's no way I can do this on my own.

God is faithful, and his promises are true. He is mighty to save; he won't let you go. Above all, God is love. He has proven himself over and over, I have nothing to fear.

[note: I know this is vague; I can't seem to get much more out than this at this moment. Maybe one day.]
