It's been a good day. I've gotten so much accomplished, not to mention the pics from my son's wedding. You all might get tired of hearing about that beautiful day, but I just can't stop smiling over it. My husband and I have hit some hard times lately, but my prayers and faith have me on top of the world. Wanted to share this with you from FFH: I can't find the words to pray, I'm a little down today, can you help me, can you hold me? I feel a million miles away, and I don't know what to say, can you hear me anyway. What I need is for you to reach out your hand, You have taught me, no matter what you'd understand. Lord, move in the way, that I've never seen before. There's a mountain in the way, and a lock on the door. I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore. So Lord move, or move me. I've looked everywhere to find a simple peace of mind, I can't find nothin' on my own. So I gotta leave myself behind, take off this cross of mine, give away everything I hold onto. Lord I know the only way is through this. Lord I know I need you to help me do this. Lord move in the way that I've never seen before, there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door. I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore. So Lord move, or move me . . . Out of this place of complacency, to a place of fellowship with thee. I am weak, but Lord you are so strong, and you know it's been way too long. That song is so very close to my heart, sometimes I have trouble praying, not wanting to be selfish but yet then I forget to pray for myself sometimes too. But God knows exactly what I need, and even though I might pray for what I think I need, he knows better. My faith and trust in God is really ALL I need. Thanks for listening myLot friends!

Thank you for sharing. I try to find the good things every day in even the small things. And give thanks and praise for it. God is even there when we feel so far away. He don't ever move, we are the one's that move. And you are right Faith and Trust in God is all we really need. And it is in times when we think that we can not take it anymore when we stand strong in Faith that he will see us through.

If we didn't go through tough times, we would take God for granted and not appreciate what he's blessed us with. If everything were perfect, we would learn nothing.

great to hear it Katie, i think we should all celebrate the good in our lives instead of focusing on the negative blessed be

Everyday should be a celebration. When I wake up, it's good, right? From there, sharing love with others, working for God, caring for your family by cleaning, cooking, mowing the yard, it's all good. I've finally realized that one little negative thing that might somehow try to turn my day around is just so small compared to the blessing I receive when I open my eyes first thing. Giving me the opportunity to bless God is the greatest blessing of all. Thank you for your kind words!

God is always there no matter how you are feeling. God is good and takes care of us. He knows how you feel even when you don't feel like praying God is close by your side.

So true! God is always closer when times are hard and just knowing that has gotten me through some tougher times. I think when I don't feel like praying, I'm really praying about it at the same time. God is good, He is wonderful!
