Exodus 33:14- “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”

The promise of God that I lean on many days and many sleepless nights. Many times when my heart is so heavy, I pray and write. Many nights, I can only be silent and just read. When we do not have peace, we need to go back to the one who is peace.

The battle between the spirit and flesh is so real. People hurt with their words. People hurt with their actions. If they only knew, would it change them or do they even care? We cannot change people, we can only change ourselves and how we react to the carelessness of others.

So, wait, hold on, keep pressing in to the maker of your soul. The pain, it is no surprise to God. Searching for peace in the early hours of the morning by the only one that can give a peace that passes all understanding. So thankful for the counsel of the Holy Spirit.

God really is close to the broken hearted and the ones that are crushed in spirit. He is so real. Drawing closer to God in the valleys is what gives us the strength to climb up the mountain so that we get to enjoy the view and be in the presence of the glorious Lord. He is faithful ~
