Standing Still

Life is not always easy (as I'm sure most of you know). I am blessed beyond measure and feel I have no room to complain. There are others who are suffering from major health issues, financial strains and far worse things than we are facing.
However tonight, we are going to bed with heavy hearts. I can't really go into details, and it's nothing really serious or life threatening. Just struggles that our family is having to deal with right now. One difficulty is that one decision we have to make will affect many, many other areas of ours and our children's lives. We need wisdom and are praying that we will see the clear path that God has laid out for us.

I know you wouldn't know TO pray for us or HOW to pray unless we asked, so that's why I'm posting.

A friend reminded me of a verse today . . . I Samuel 9:27 b ~ "but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God." This in turn reminded me of one of my favorite songs, "Stand Still and Let God Move". I've included the words and a link so you can be encouraged along with us.

Stand Still and Let God Move

The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now
You feel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt
When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro
When you're faced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go

Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do
When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move

When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in
When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been
Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out
You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now

Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do
When you feel you have reached the end,
He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move

When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move
The answer will come, But only in His time
Stand still and let God move, Stand still and let God move

(Not too crazy about this version, but it's what I could find online.)
