It has been said that when life makes no sense, when moments of confusion shred our soul, there are three paths we can take: to abandon any claim to Christian belief and search for emmediate relief and happiness; to run ffrom confusion as a woodsman would flee from a hungry bear; or to cling to God with disciplined tenacity, reminding ourselves of who He is, even though our struggle with confusion continues unabated.
So... people, share your opinions.

Recently my husband and I have been strugling with the fact that our dear friend and pastor is leaving our church to return to his home state. We have been becide ourselves with grief and anger. My husband did abandon all he knew turned into a hateful being and locked the world out for 3 days. I chose to cling to God and rejoice in the Lord now my husband came back to the clinging to God thing when he figured out that shutting the world out leads nowhere. God said I am your comforter. I believe that. I have been able to handel all this fine because I leaned on God.

If you are in a dark place pray and ask God why are you there and how you can get out of it. Before you look for any other solution do this first and stand still and see the salvation of our God.

You do the same as you would in a light place. Light or dark. Being safe is only as safe as one feels in any circumstance. Feel your sixth sense and trust that feeling.
Remember to reach and respond to your Guardians and Angels, God gave them to us for guides along the paths of our light and dark days, Don't ever thing for one moment you are alone!!! We are never alone and we are safe.

"Thy Word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105)
"He that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of Life" John 8:12
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the Word of God in your life.
Indeed, "Man shall not live by bread alone..."

i have it answered i when i receive the maxim, "as the dry barren land could give life to a plant, our dullest moments in life could also give life."
it is not that when all other forces against us are present, we curled down, cry abd surrender. no, it is not suppose to be like that. dark places in our life are super challenges that would test us being ourself. there's no need to do a lot of things. kneel down, let your heart cry, let God's hands wipe them out.
have confidence that He'll be around, have faith and He'll come..

Cling to God, and trust HIM to be a "lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path."

When you walk through a path of darkness one must be careful.

Know this first, Faith is you. You are the faith in your god. You are the blessed child that gives your faith to him. When despair and sorrow find you and heart becomes hard to find. Know beyond doubt that you are the faith. It starts in you and is offered from you. With this faith you can make the darkest of times bright and you can heal all sorrows for you are the light of faith.
Your god might be your beacon But you are his faith. You child are the only one capable of offering yourself.
En Tis Blethec.
