Heartache

 I've recently experienced some heartache.  I've been searching for resolve.  I've been seeking trust in the Lord and His peace.  There are no words to express the struggle in my heart right now.  Understanding is difficult and the pain is real.

God has been speaking to me through several people and ministries.  Some quotes and images below are ones that have spoken powerfully to my heart.





"The Creator of the world has pursued your heart, even to death on a cross.  His love for you is unmatched. His plan for you is unchanging.  And His grace for you is unending.  You are HIS object of affection."
- Matthew West (The Story of Your Life, book)









"Lord, please help me to remember that while the future may be very uncertain, you will never forsake me and heaven is my ultimate destination."
- Red Letter Blog (www.akmayes.com)




"Dear Lord, please bless her with Your peace.  Give her strength to hand over the worries, cares, and loneliness.  Take the pain and squelch the doubt.  Remind her You are her God: the Great I AM.  Nothing is impossible with You.  And You do turn all things for good.  be with her tonight and grant her sweet, safe, sound sleep.  Thank you for Your presence.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
