“God's Always There”
Be still, and know that I am God …
LeAnn A. writes:
It calms my heart and mind to know that God is God – and He is always in control. No matter what I face, He knows and He wants me to be still and know that He is always there.
When my husband left us almost nine years ago, I was devastated. But God arranged so many things for our good, and He has supported and sustained us.
I will never go back to the person I once was, and I will love my Lord forever. He truly is all that I need.

Dear LeAnn A.:
“He truly is all that I need.”
I cannot agree with your more.
Some of my counselees used to simply pop a pill–Prozac, Wellbutrin XL, Zoloft or whichever antidepressant pill into his/her mouth when felt depressed or agitated in order to keep
“still” to function in their jobs and daily activities.
This sort of ‘quick fix’, however, unfortunately more often than not accelerates and creates further problems.
Some of them had car accidents; others had furthered more family and/or employment discords as a consequence.
They, looking only at the ‘half empty and not the half full bottle’ of life, often could not escape from suicidal and even homicidal tendencies.
A few counselees, indeed, contemplated to take the entire family to Sheol with him so that they did not have to suffer in this world.
After my professional and patient analyses with them, nonetheless, they began to see HIS WAY, HIS TRUTH AND HIS LIGHT (John 14:6) on the horizon.
They started to pray, too, “Teach me Thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a level path.” (Psalm 27:11).
Since then, many have confessed that now, their own calm, confiding, and trustful mind and heart in the Divine Presence have empowered them to live a fulfilling life; exalt Him; and glorify His Salvation here on earth.
Thank you, and
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless you and yours;
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
