Yes, though I walk through the deep, sunless
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with
me…
When walking through such sunless valleys, which we all do at times during our life spans, it is human for us to experience fear, dread, despair, hopelessness, worry, pain. Psychologically speaking, it is probably somewhat healthy to acknowledge and accept those feelings without letting us be consumed by them.
It is by our faith in God that we can trust during those difficult periods of our life, that He will ALWAYS be with us during such times. God will not always rescue us from rough patches, but He will always be with us. We must trust this, read His word, and listen for direction and guidance from Him.
Because He is with us, we can go through trials and
hardships with stability, and positive attitudes. We can trust Him
completely.
One of my favorite quotes has for years been: “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain.” If we put our trust in God, we can find moments of goodness and joy in the scariest of times, knowing that there is hope.
Prayer: Father God, author of love and hope, help us
to turn to you in faith during the toughest of times and in doing so, have
positive expectations. Let us praise you and be thankful for your love
and guidance in the toughest of times. Amen
