Psalm 73

[cornellengr2008]

Truly God is good to Israel,
    to those whose hearts are pure.
But as for me, I came so close to the edge of the cliff!
    My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.
For I envied the proud
    when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
They seem to live such a painless life;
    their bodies are so healthy and strong.
They aren't

Whoa, it's like the Biblical version of obscure lyrics posting. Everything OK?

[cornellengr2008]

No.

in those times where we're hurting and we feel like all of our efforts are in vain, or when we feel like God is nowhere near, infact He is chauffeuring us through our lives; He is continuously reaching for us, and with each trial He is seeking to bring us closer to Him, or to teach us to be like His Son. God's always seeking you; sometimes we all need to just stop our own efforts in seeking Him, and let HIm take control. easier said than done. but it can be done.

So what were you saying to me about quoting Bible verses without giving explanations?

Nice Psalm :-).

[cornellengr2008]

you always just toss out bible quotes in an argument and expect people to think you've made some point. i'm not making a point. this is how i feel.

We all feel that way sometimes. I guess that's why God gives us scriptures like this to relate to.

C.S. Lewis says it best, "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain."

I'm so glad that I have him right by my side to help me through things because I have no idea what I would do without him.

If you need to talk, I'm around. :D
