Uncertainty

This week has been a little difficult for me. I think I hit a breaking point with EVERYTHING. There just has been so much bottling up inside. I really don't even know what to write about it all because there are just so many angles of what has been going on.

Am I still afraid, Yes.
Am I still frustrated, Yes.
Am I weary, Yes.
Am I tired, Yes.
Am I overwhelmed, Yes.

Today I flipped through my daily calendar book thing that is daily inspirational thing. Here is what it said:

Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Hear me saying Peace, be still to your restless heart. No matter what happens, I will never leave you or forsake you. Let this assurance soak into your mind and heart, until you overflow with joy. Though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, you need not fear!

The news and the world is constantly give us stories and giving us bad news. Its constantly in our faces about what is going on in the world with this virus and its all negative numbers. At least it seems. There is so much uncertainty in this world right now.

I know I said it before and I know the only way to get through these times is to put your focus on other things and not the things of negativity or what the news has out there. Focus on Bible verse and focus on what God has to say through this. I need to let scriptures saturate my mind and my heart. Even though I have NO IDEA what is going to happen tomorrow, I know what is absolutely true and sure and that is my ultimate destination in this life.

Mark 4:39-40 - And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"

Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."

Psalm 73:23-28 - Nevertheless I am continually with you; you have taken hold of my right hand. With your counsel you will guide me, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And besides you, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from you will perish; you have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all your works.
