Or the rotten timing of them. <br /><br />King David always helps me out in moments (months) like these: "Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.From the end of the earth I will cry to You,When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I" (Psalm 61:1-2). And David knew the Rock! "There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God" (1 Sam 2:2).<br />You know I have not ceased praying! (((( Em ))))<br /> <br /><br />As the Lord draws you into His snug and safe embrace,through all of these sad instances, I am continuing to pray.an encouragerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06901872603465017271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-2599412543112761602009-05-05T10:52:00.000-07:002009-05-05T10:52:00.000-07:00(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))<br />what a wonderful verse... it's one of my favorites. it's wonderful, the comfort we can find in Scripture. <br />praying for you!Taliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10102909141360521814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-30752843857485454802009-05-05T05:51:00.000-07:002009-05-05T05:51:00.000-07:00Oh Emily, I'm so sad that you have to go through so much and watch people you love enduring it too. Praying for more birds singing and more cheerful sunrises and more happy days with the ones you love.Mummy McTavishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971283362730213835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-74819597434301979122009-05-05T03:24:00.000-07:002009-05-05T03:24:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry Emily. We can find comfort though, in knowing that through the sadness, things do go on. The sun will rise tomorrow, the birds will sing, the flowers will grow, and that is encouragement for us to go on. Just like the rainbow after the rain.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01392434355065441692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-88269854658218531742009-05-04T14:26:00.000-07:002009-05-04T14:26:00.000-07:00Wow, I was struck by events over the last few days too, although I had extreme highs to go with the lows. I can't imagine going through it without Christ. At least we have His promises to keep us secure when the world crashes around us. www.thoughtfulword.wordpress.comritestuffhttp://thoughtfulword.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-81820930274383284682009-05-04T08:24:00.000-07:002009-05-04T08:24:00.000-07:00Thank you for reminding me of that song, Daisy! I love it too!

It's been tough lately. (((hugs)))<br /><br />I think the ONLY answer is how David responded. He always poured out his heart to God; every sadness, every frustration, every disappointment. BUT he always ended with praise.<br /><br />It's why I love that song we sing at church. Blessed be your name when I'm found in the desert place, when I walk through the wilderness...Blessed be your name.Daisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15315109355687283907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-81648984334575174882009-05-04T08:00:00.000-07:002009-05-04T08:00:00.000-07:00Life is full of so many disappointments and sadness. It is through our strength that we carry on. We can only be thankful that we have a God that knows all the reasons why, and that we will all meet Him soon.Pam Riggiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02644077130058536657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17695892.post-5632914984592778142009-05-04T06:46:00.000-07:002009-05-04T06:46:00.000-07:00Beautiful!
