encouragement

everyone is so unsettled..
wondering where they're going.
worried about this person, worried about that person,
worried about themselves..
tired of their current situation, looking forward to better
days, wondering when those days will come..
waiting in anticipation for the next big thing, hoping it's
wonderful instead of devastating..
wondering
worrying
waiting
it's so hard at these times to look to something above and
beyond ourselves. it's so hard.
no one wants to wonder
no one wants to worry
no one wants to wait
the God of wonders tells us,
do not worry.
wait upon the Lord.
he will turn to you and hear your cry
he will lift you out of the pit, out of the mud and mire
and set your feet on a rock
and give you a firm place to stand.
that firm place
may be nothing
but that feeling deep deep inside
that says
it's going to be ok.
that rock
may be a hug
from someone who understands.
i want you to know
that all of this "stuff"
all of this mud
all of this mire
is nothing
except a polluted world
that is trying to discourage us
from setting our eyes
on the ultimate prize.
nothing that is going on
no hunger
no longing
no endless cycle
no cough or sniffle
no packed suitcase
no desperate job search
no "unreachable" student
no feeling of discouragement
is beyond the loving gaze
and the loving hand
of our Father.
we may never understand
but we can know
that God shall supply our EVERY need.
that's a promise. and i believe it.
and even though some of you may not believe it right now,
i want you to know
that i'm believing it for you.
