Uncertainties and Brokenness

Do you ever get the feeling that your insides are a tumultuous storm that never subsides? Your heart seems so uncertain and overwhelmed that nothing seems to work right. It's a brokenness that encompasses the entirety of your being and seems to hold you captive. It can be repressed for a time and buried beneath superficial happiness or busyness, but it never goes away. It remains hidden within the deepest recesses of your heart. 

There is an immense fear and a perpetual wonder of what's hiding down there. Your own strength is not even close to being sufficient in dealing with those emotions and the lack of ability is absolutely terrifying. The only solution is letting go and allowing someone bigger than yourself (i.e. the Creator of the universe) to handle what you can't. There is such hope in God's unfailing love, even when everything seems to be crashing down around you. 

Psalm 18:1-2 ~
I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
