For some reasons I have been feeling as if I’ve used up all emotional resources. Exhausted and yet the continual sense of responsibility makes me inch forward very slowly. More work, my papers, my publication, more of lots of things. My mind and my body are begging for rest and some how I do not seem to be able to. But strangely enough some of the most comforting things that brought me a kind of relief is that little voice I keep hearing occasionally “You can trust God…it is going to be ok.” In the midst of stress, the word trust is almost magical. It is a short glimpse into the divine presence. Only if I could be taken into this divine perspective as I engage life, I wonder what that will look like for me?

… that still quiet voice … brings us to the ‘relief’ we need at that now moment …
thank God …
that is so true. i suppose that voice is always there but we kind of miss it because of our busyness and because of our unwillingness to take the time to just listen. we live in a community of talkers…listening is not our best skill.
thanks sirojs, i’ve been pretty busy lately too. hold on to Jesus. he is the ultimate hope. if we can learn to trust him, we have learned the greatest thing in life. 🙂 blessings.
thank you. yes…trust is a very important word now and it has become increasing relevant.
