I want to write about  a wonderful song I discovered this week.  It is not a new song, but it is powerful.  The song is "The Promise" by The Martins.  I have to say it is one of the best songs I have ever heard.  It talks about what God has promised us.  He hasn't promised us silver or gold, but he did say he would be there for us.  We often get confused and think that If we are seeking God's will everything should be sunny; that is often not the case.  We as christians (and non-christians) are going to have problems.  We are going to have trials.  There are going to be times life knocks us to our knees.  That's just how it goes.  But God is there he wants to help you.  You may think that you or your problems are too far gone but no, you never are.  God did not promise that we would not have trials; he did not promise that we would not be lonley.  He did promise to help you fight and to dry your tears. He loves us so very much and doesn't want to see any of us in pain, but on earth pain is what we have to fight.  Satan just loves to see us doubt God when we hurt.  It is just so easy to blame God instead of asking him to help you fight.  We must spend our time of need  on our knees in prayer.  Absolute submission of the problem to God is the only way to get it solved.  It may cause heartache in the meantime, but God has a plan.  He has infinite time and resources, and he can do above and beyond anything we could ever imagine.  I am going to post a link to the lyrics at the end.  Please check it out it is a wonderful song.  God is so amazing, you never know how he is going to reach you.  Just listen for that still small voice because God doesn't like to yell.  We expect him to be loud when he talks, thats just the way we are, but God often starts as a whisper.  By the time we hear him yell we have gone so far that we think we are lost indefinitly.  By the time he yells, he has been whispering for a while.  You can probably look back on your life and attest to this fact.  God is bigger than your problems.  He is bigger than your mistakes.  He loves you and will always catch you.  Just "be still and know"......
