"Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us..."

Have you ever felt that way? Like you are just moving through life at a speed at which you have no control, in a world that has no control? Too often we look inside ourselves for answers and reasons, and we're disappointed when none seem to show. I challenge you tonight, however, to look for answers, not around you, but above you. Look to God. Sometimes things don't seem to make sense. Sometimes it seems as if the decisions you make will lead no where, but then God takes you in His hand and tells you, "It's alright, child, you're with me." And in those few, simple words we can find all the comfort we need. Our burdens lift off of our shoulders and we find that we can face life and all of its trials head on. For we are not alone. Not only is He with us always as He promises in His Word, but He gives us friends and family to which we can turn even in the darkest of times when it seems there is no good ending. For it is in these times that we discover the true value of friends. I have been blessed with some amazing friends that have had such a great impact on me. I'm dating an amazing godly girl with whom I can discuss how the Holy Spirit has been working in my life and hear the same from her. I have mentors that I can go to if I have a problem. ...What I'm saying is, God gives us so many resources at our disposal, not the least of which is prayer, by which we can make it through a world that seems to be unraveling around us just as the song says. Because the one who cares for you and me is still there holding His hand out for us no matter the situation...and that's awesome. We get down sometimes, wondering if everything is going to turn out right...worrying that we've made bad decisions...and we worry needlessly. Trust God, the cross still stands alone as the way to freedom...freedom from worry, fear, ______ fill in the blank. Whatever you need God for, He's there. Just ask.

I don't know why I felt like I needed to post this. It isn't some spiritual high, or anything because as you can see it is nearing 2AM, I just finished reading a secular book, and I'm so tired I'm about to fall out of my chair, but I felt like someone else may have the same worries that I have. I hope this helps someone out there.
