Can I hide? I need a place where I can think. Without someone to come and poke, enough of calls and notes telling of problems I have to solve. They want ME to change another as if I have that kind of power. I want a haven where I can sort it all. I need to hear Him speak the word that calms, fill with peace, my little world. Then somehow I will see answers to what others need. Where else is there to go when its family? What can be done to let them know the way they chose isn't narrow? Please take the road that's right! To Him your burdens give for there is no other way to go, no way in life to live. Will they listen, will they see? I hope and pray with everything that is in me. That God will take a hand to change their pattern as they stand. Then chaos will cease and peace will reign again…..
Ever felt like that? People had crowded in telling of the wrongs done by those I care about. The ones in charge wanted me to do things their way and right NOW! I stumbled in darkness trying to figure it out. Things don't happen all of a sudden and it wasn't as if mine didn't know right from wrong. They were taught and had good hearts. But there it was, proof, that they had made some very wrong choices. What could I do?
Years before God had taught me a valuable lesson. In II Chronicles 32: 7-8 Hezekiah told his people that they need not be afraid because the Lord was with them to help and to fight their battles. Before that in verse 5 it says: then he worked hard…. Hezekiah did everything (verses 2-6) he and his people could and he had confidence the Lord would do the rest. Applying this I did what I could to appease those who wanted miracles and went through official channels we could handle, to get help. With detective work, and constant prayer, the cause came to light. There was spiritual trouble in this person I wasn't aware of. God opened the way and through the summer we were able to talk. Prayers were asked for and many hours were spent talking with each other and with Jesus. Spiritual and emotional healing took place. Christ cleared the way as we went in ways I couldn't see till late summer and into the next school year. Then another asked what had been the trouble because they couldn't see any problem at all! Praise God Almighty in his love and wisdom. When we're in the dark we have to walk in faith, do what we can within the means he has given us and trust God. Then he will go before us in battle. The victory is ours in Christ when we strive to live in the light of his word.
