It just seems as though this has been a month of heavy news. Between the Logan Co. killer (next county over), Senate Bill 5, Egypt, Libya, influenza, sickness, prices rising, and now learning even more about the heavy use of major drugs in our area amongst the youth....I just feel so overwhelmed. Like seriously, my stomach feels ill. Last night I had myself wound pretty tight with worry and fear. The unrelenting winter weather has about sent me over the brink as well. I suppose it is not a coincidence (hahaha...I don't believe in coincidence) I am re-visiting the book "Calm My Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow.
Father....My spirit is uneasy. My heart is heavy. Remind me that my hope is in You. Remind me that You are in control. Remind me that Your plan is perfect, even when I don't understand. Be with those that I love and respect and cherish who are hurting, serving, and desire more of You. Fill our cup so that it overflows because in our human-ness we feel as though our cups are empty. Thank you Lord for hearing my heart's cry.
