When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself.
Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer.
Don’t ask questions: Wait for hope to appear.
Don’t run from trouble.
Take it full-face.
The “worst” is never the worst.

These Sunday posts are just warming my heart!
“The ‘worst’ is never the worst.” Wow. I’m tucking that one into my back pocket. Thanks so much for linking up!
Such a good message here … thank you.
Jeremiah is a character that actually still lives today… in my personality. I always recognize much of what he walked through, wanted to see changes occur through the Lord, was heartbroken when he saw choices that could bring spiritual “death”… and how he tried and tried to be faithful to his Lord. This was a good post, a good reminder. Thanks.
The perfect message for me as I prepare for church this morning, and the photo is also perfect. Thanks, Sandy.
Precious words Sandy.
Ooo…love the Message version of this verse! Thanks, Sandra! Blessings!
Yes, we need to remember we don’t have to rely on our strength. I find that very comforting.
Such a beautiful photo and a beautiful translation. I had never read this in the message before.
I also have a photo weekend blog hop called In Search of Beauty, opened from friday night through Sunday midnight. I’d love to have you come link up sometime.
Praying for you as you wait for hope, Sandy.
Love that way the Message translates these verses of scripture! And wonderful photo to go with such powerful thoughts.
I see lots of “Ys” there in your picture. May you rest in Yahweh’s arms today. Love you.
Just love this! And needed it today! Thank you my dear friend! Love you!
Promise of hope speaks into my heart…love this passage of scripture in Message Bible.
Praying love, hope, and peace over you, sister.
Wrapping you all in ((tender hugs))
