God's word in 1 Peter 5:6-11 & Phi. 4:19 really helps me, to keep in faith that God really cares & provide our needs. I believe that God will help us & i was thankful to God that by the difficulties moment we went thru now makes me more close to Him. I am reminding myself everyday to TRUST the Lord in everything.

We have to daily choose to trust God with all our cares and concerns. Proverbs 3:5-6 helps give me the perspective I need. I need to TRUST God and not in my own understanding. Thanks for your post.

I raised them alone (and their younger brother) for 10 years after my husband suddenly died when they were young. (My youngest was only 5 and least affected by the loss, thankfully.) I must remind myself EVERY DAY to trust the Lord with ALL my cares, including the upsetting and frightening problems I encounter with my older children (25, and the other is 21 <i>today</i>). Whenever I look out my window and see the tiny sparrows happily fluttering around, I always think of Matthew 10:29-31: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me."... and you :-) Thank you for this timely post and for all the helpful comments, Debi In addition to worrying about finances, my health, (and just about anything else I can think of :-/ ), my 2 oldest sons cause me great concern.

God desires to be intimate with us, for us to touch him and for Him to touch our everyday lives. This can only happen when we really do delight in Him - at least enough to spend quality time with Him daily. After all it is difficult to put our trust in someone we only spend time with occassionaly.

Mags, my heart goes out to you as my step-son has been a challenge for many years and is now 26 and is still a challenge. He too had sever outburst of temper and has caused chaos in our lives. Most of these trying times were before we had Christ in our marriage and I believe that because God has a plan for our lives He kept us together and sane until we got to the point of salvation and giving it all up to His capable hands. I came to a point in my life 4 months ago where I figured out that God's plan for my life has to be better than anything I could come up with. Now I have given up the burden of my step-son and my everything to God and I can see God working in his life and mine, my step-son is a now recovering alcoholic and drug user and is working on changes in his life. Through AA and the examples that we are trying to set for him I hope and pray that he comes to know Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. For us, God lead us to Al-non and that has been a real blessing, and He showed us that he will hold our hands on the mountain tops and in the valleys. Dear Riri and Mags, I will keep you both in my prayers.

As "Revived" pointed out above, as we draw close to God we experience His transforming presence. As we delight in Him, we replace worry with worship and fear with praise. Thanks so much for lifting up the truths fround in Psalm 42. It's so good to have you in the ODJ community! mikan14, I’ll pray that you’ll find rest and refreshment in God today.
