LORD I DO NOT UNDERSTAND-BUT PLEASE HELP ME TRUST YOU!

Oh Lord, please help me understand or at least trust you through the trials and tribulations, loss, grief, and complete chaos this world is in. I do not understand the tragic, heartbreaking, unbelievable things that are happening Lord. I ache for the day that you will end all this suffering and come and take us home to be with you in Heaven forever. Lord, there is just so much pain and sometimes it is unbearable and so heart wrenching that is hard to face the day. Please Lord, I am asking you to make yourself present in the lives of those who are struggling. Help me to not be so consumed with all that I have going on in my life that I miss all the hurting people around me. Remind me daily that you have given me the responsibility to check on them, encourage them, comfort them, listen to them, and point them to you, because we cannot do this life without you Lord! And when I am facing trials and hardships in my own life please send me people that I trust to care for me in the same way.

There are many things we will never understand, we have so many questions, so many why's and what ifs Lord, maybe someday the answers will be revealed to us? One thing I know for certain is  we can only hold onto the promise that one day there will be no more tears, sorrow, pain or heartbreak, but until then Lord please guide us, comfort us, and give us a sense of peace. Please give us a glimpse of what is awaiting us on the glorious day you return to take us home. Remind us to look around and see that there is still good here on earth and help us not to focus on all the bad and crazy stuff happening all the time.

Heal our broken hearts and restore our strength so that we may face another day. Please help us to be praying continuously for those we love that are struggling and for ourselves. Please help us stay grounded in your word so that we can remain hopeful and point others to you for whatever their needing and please Lord help us to be joyful in all circumstances which is so very hard.

Lord, we are waiting patiently for your return please come quickly as we are growing weary!

In Jesus name we pray amen,

Angie Goucher

            An Eternal Memory     

       Until  We Meet Again

Those special memories of you

will always bring me a smile

if only I could have you back

for just a little while

Then we could sit and talk again

just like we used to do

you always meant so very much to me

and you always will do too

The fact that your no longer here

will always cause me  pain

but forever your in my heart

until we meet again 

Love you Morgan, Your cousin Mariah
