But You care.

There are times that I feel overwhelmed by the darkness and despair presented by the reality of this existence.

Yet, in the valley of the shadow of death You are strengthening me giving me the power, courage, and the tenacity I need to stand in the face of my enemy; watching him tremble in fear because the radiance of Your power burns in my heart and emanates from my very being. I am weak....but You are strong!

Yes, I will stand firm because You are with me.

There are many things in this life that I cannot control or change but my resolve will not waiver because You...remain the same.

I am safe. I am secure. I am fulfilled and satisfied in Your presence. You are my armor and my shield. Your love anchors my heart ensuring that the winds and waves of this life do not carry my soul into the abyss.

Yes, in the valley of the shadow of death You are with me and I know for certain…That now and forever...I can find joy and rest in the comfort of Your arms.
