When joy seems far away

Keep waiting for your God, even when he tarries long. Keep clinging to his promises, even when it feels like he’s abandoned them. Keep crying out to him, even when you’re unsure he hears. Keep seeking his face, even when you want to least. Refuse the temptation, when you find yourself tired of waiting, to “go astray after a lie” (Psalm 40:4) — some refuge other than God that promises immediate relief. Wait, cling, pray, seek, and trust that your God will come.


I am so glad that what I am feeling these days are somewhat normal, strangely unique and annoying irritation. More importantly, it test and checks mk foundation and roots. It tugs hard at my heart and soul. It makes me feel so hopeless, so dull and everything seems to bleak. 
But I know, for this I am sure, that one day, my little flicker of hope will burst into a full flame.
