What an awful day yesterday was. It was dreadful. Everything seemed to be conspiring against me. Every way I turned I could hear negative voices telling me my situation was simply impossible. Some in my own head, some from people I tried to phone yesterday in an effort to solve it quickly.
Did I give up?
No.
I prayed and then I went to bed. Trying to sort it out when I was so tired was impossible.
And I got up the next day, prayed again, and set to work solving what appeared to be impossible the previous day.
It's now late afternoon on that next day. Okay, some things aren't solved, however they are in the hands of people I can trust. The way through this is much clearer.
Despite the negativity, the less-than-helpful comments, the train strikes that slowed down my journey to sort this issue out. I kept going despite all this, and won through.
Don't give up. Don't give in.
10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
11 “All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
11 “All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
Isaiah 41:10-13 (New International Version)
