Melancholy Me

Not really wanting anyone to read my blog...just needing to express my thoughts...feeling alone. I miss my family. I miss my friends. I read other blogs and they are cheerful and inspiring. Wish I felt cheerful and inspiring, but not right now. Perhaps another day. Need direction...wondering why I'm here.

What if every day is filled with work and activities and I never really have time to stop and figure out why I'm doing the things I'm doing? What if this cycle never ends and soon my life is over and I still feel frustrated and unfulfilled?

Doesn't everyone want a sense of direction...a sense of destiny? (Destiny: what will necessarily happen to any person or thing; (one's fate).) Are we supposed to know what our destiny is or should it be a matter of faith? "Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title-deed) of the things (we) hope for, being the proof of things (we) do not see and the conviction of their reality - faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses." Hebrews 11:1 AMP

"Faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses." Sounds like a matter of trust. If we know that God is trustworthy, why do we have such a hard time trusting Him? In reality, He is the only one we can trust.

Lord, help me trust You. I am having a hard time seeing the big picture right now, but I know that You see it. You hold all things in the palm of Your hand. Me, my family, my friends, my circumstances, my worries and cares...everything. I want to trust You with my life. Thank You for Your faithfulness and patience. Thank You for Your unconditional love. (Please help me love others the way that You love me.) Thank you that You never change, regardless of how I feel. Help me to perceive "as real fact what is not revealed to (my) senses."
