“In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
― John Bunyan
(a patch of daffodils deep in the middle of the woods / Julie Cook / 2015)
In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.
I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.
Psalm 25: 1-3

Oh my sweetie pie, I felt the sadness in your heart so strongly in between these lines that it brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. May the Lord walk beside you all day long and provide for all your needs. For I feel that you need all the Divine strength and support you can get right now. Love you much, hugs, N 🙂 ❤
thank you Natalie–your kind words and love are indeed a soothing balm
Keep on trusting . . . it’s the only way to go 🙂 ~ Blessings ~
Thank you Deborah Ann—I’m in the middle of a mess—dealing with dad, my stepmom—and then her family—most of us are on one page, with the exception of one—which is making all of this a nightmare—then the sewer burst and that has added a new crisis upon the first one. . .thank you for you kind words and prayers–
Praying that our Lord’s presence will give you strength as you “do the next thing.” One step at a time. He’s got you by the hand, dear Julie. Peace in Him ~ Laura
Thank you Laura—the crisis with my dad, stepmother, and the dynamics of her two children is a mess–securing a caregiver, nursing service–yet the two to be cared for are not on death’s door, invalids or helpless so there is certainly some overkill by some–add to that a burst sewer that is having to be replaced as we speak throwing the house into turmoil with me living over an hour away—it’s making for a lovely perfect storm—but today I had to stay home, taking care of business on our end and have blessedly felt God’s peace and I am truly thankful—
Thank you for your prayers—hope the GRE went well this week
Hugs to you—Julie
The test is now over and I am now accepted into Grad school. I’m looking forward to more learning! 🙂 I’ll keep you in my prayers regarding your dad and stepmother! Hugs back, Laura
Congratulations!! Learn well and prosper my grasshopper 🙂
Thanks! Will do! 🙂
