Just when I think I am starting to hit bottom the Lord steps in and gives me strength where ever He knows that I will listen. The local paper was my life scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you, plans to cherish and not to harm you. To bring you hope and a future." Yes, yes, I know Lord, there are plans and I just have to relax and remember to trust in that. I will let you do what is necessary. Perhaps I need pain, though not near as a great a pain as your Son experienced, for your work to go through as planned.
Suffering
Perseverance
Character
Hope
...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith, of greater worth than gold, may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you don't see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy"
1Peter 1:6-8
