A Loss

I have to say, I'm at a loss for words. 

I've been avoiding this blog lately. Not knowing what to say, how I feel, what's going on in my heart...It's been a phase of trust. My lack of words though can be made up in verses that the Lord has used to dry my tears more than once. 

"My comfort in my suffering is this: your promise perseveres in my life." -Psalm 119:50

"O sovereign Lord, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant." -2 Samuel 7:28

"You did well to have this in your heart. Nevertheless..." 2 Chronicles 6:8

"Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near....Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." -James 5:7-8, 10-11

I've been praying these verses a lot. Actually, I've just been praying a lot in general. God knows the plans He has for us, and He is going to prosper us. Sometimes, it's just not the way we expect.
