Perhaps it is the way you have designed me, but there are times when I need to stop, drop, and pray and trust that you know what you are doing.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,īut the Lord delivers him out of them all. He will exult over you with loud singing. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Together we can handle whatever this day brings. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with Me. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. ![]() When you think like that, you leave me out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots.
