Heavy Hearts and Psalms

I found myself sitting in the stairwell of Landmark Baptist College. On a number of occassions, I would go up in the stairwell, study or just read my Bible. This particular night, my heart was heavy and I was crying. The semester was coming to a close and for some strange reason, I was not feeling like myself. I did not understand why.

The only comfort I was able to get, was to read Psalms. That night I read 24 Psalms, by the time I finished the twentiforth Psalm. I felt the presence of the Lord. It was just like he was sitting there with me, telling me everything was going to be just fine. I just needed to trust Him.

To this day, I do not understand why I was crying. But I came away from this experience knowing that God is so faithful, even when we do not understand.

Challenge
This is my challenge to you. Trust God in your darkest hours. Trust Him when everything is going just fine, or when you are sitting in the stairwell of life, crying for reasons you cannot express. Do not turn away from these times of struggles and run from them. Embrace them and take them with the attitude that " I can do all things through Christ." He will give you the strength to work through every obsticle.
