Trusting God

Life is never without challenges.  Right? 

Well...For the first time in my life, my job is on the line.  I've never had so many challenges on a job.  It's hard and stressful.  Every day, I feel like I'm going to lose my job.  I was sitting at my desk yesterday, and I thought I was having a heart attack.  My chest felt tight, and I could hardly breathe.  I thought to myself, "I'm too young to feel this way!!!"  Thinking of this job just sends my blood pressure skyward.

I can't believe my life is going in this direction.  I know that no one's life is without challenges...but this is ridiculous.  I'm starting to wonder if there really is such a thing as happiness.  I know I experienced happiness when I was younger...but I feel like my adult life has been horrible.  I feel like I may never experience happiness again until I die.  It's scary and depressing.

I've always trusted in God.  Now, I have to trust that He will take care of me until I find another job.  God has never let me down, and I know He will not let me down now.


It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
