Yes, this is one of those rough times of personal struggle. Blinded by financial wrappings on one eye and irritating health issues on the other, I find myself, feeling alone, groping in the darkness of this world to find the path out of the life-sucking muck.

They say I have a heart condition, for to be harried and hurried is said to be a lack of trust in God’s provision and a rejection of His offered rest (a condition of my heart). Carl Jung said it was not of the devil but was the devil!

I profess the LORD is my portion and my strength, God’s grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in my weakness. Now all I have to do is practice it.

Isaiah speaks our Father’s intent to us (42:16). “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, By unfamiliar paths I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them & make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”

Well, amen to that!
