how can i be strong?

I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,

 - Psalm 31:7

There are days when I don’t feel like I can put a verse out there for the world to read, today is one of those days.

I try to keep my blog encouraging, a little bit of happiness on a bad day. 

But sometimes I just can’t.

Sometimes, I feel like my world is really coming apart.

Sometimes, I feel like God isn’t listening to my cry. 

I turn to music a lot and this one, well, it hits me in the feels. 

They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't

It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
'Cause I know You're able
I know You can

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

No matter what I am going through, God is there, no matter how hard it is for me to see Him.

Maybe what I think is His silence, is really Him waiting for me to listen.
