When I said, “My foot is slipping,” Your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy.
- Psalm 94:18-19 (NIV)
Yesterday marked 21 years since the attack on American soil and 30 years since the senseless death of my little brother.
There are many days in the year that I feel “my foot slipping” and yesterday is one of them.
While I did not personally lose anyone in the tragedy of 9/11/2001, I know people that did.
I know that people had survivor’s guilt.
I know people that lost family members in the days and years following that horrific day in American history.
I think many of us feel our foot slipping when we walk through memories.
We are not alone we have a great Father to hold us.
Song reference!
When the best of me is barely breathin'
When I'm not somebody I believe in
Hold on to me
When I miss the light the night has stolen
When I'm slammin' all the doors You've opened
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me when it's too dark to see You
When I am sure I have reached the end
Hold on to me when I forget I need You
When I let go, hold me again
When I don't feel like I'm worth defending
When I'm tired of all my pretending
Hold on to me
When I start to break in desperation
Underneath the weight of expectation
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me when it's too dark to see You (I'll hold on)
When I am sure I have reached the end
Hold on to me when I forget I need You (I'll hold on)
When I let go, hold me again
I could rest here in Your arms forever
'Cause I know nobody loves me better
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
The consolation we can find in the arms of the Father is real and it will bring us joy.
His unfailing love will always be there for us.
