Five Things That Have Helped Me Get Through This Time

 

 

1) Psalms 86:10-11

 

 

"For you are great and do wondrous things;
    you alone are God.
 Teach me your way, O Lord,
    that I may walk in your truth;
    give me an undivided heart to revere your name."

3) Beautiful Things by Gungor

 

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

 

 

 

4) When you have that person in your life with whom you have a good conversation with that you really just needed. Someone who will understand, and not undermine the situation, and let you cry--maybe even expect you too--because you both know it's a safe place.

 

 

5) The clarity and peace, even including the unknown, that comes with dependence on the Lord after all of the wrestling and storming.
