Strength.

"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord."

Sometimes it seems like God is farther away than I need Him to be.

I know that He's not, but when my heart is aching, I feel like He's gone.

I've read Micah 7:7 a couple of times and found some solace in it.

Right now I'm working my way through Romans again, relearning some things and finding a better focus for the changes I'm making in my life. I was studying the nature of God in Isaiah and I started to feel comforted... then I finished the book. Funny how when you seek God, you can't seem to get enough.

I listened to the song, "The More I Seek Him" tonight, and was reminded that He's never far away. "Average Girl" by Barlowgirl is amazing too. I just wish I didn't have to walk through the valley. It would be nice if there was a trial quota; it seems like I'm always going through something or other that I can't bear. 

Prayers are needed, hope is drifting.

But, hope is a revolutionary patience.
