God is My Refuge

     Todays post is not going to be long, but I hope it is helpful. I have had what I've been calling, "a depressing week". Thus today I am not quite as jovial as usual. It's not that anything bad has happened to me, things have actually been going quite well. The thing is, for about four days in a row this past week I have found out about something hard or sad in one of my friends or coworkers lives. This past week I've watched people I care about go through very hard things, and it has made me sad. I try so hard to be comforting and say the right things, but I always know that I can't truly take away the sadness they're feeling. Sometimes situations like this can make us feel helpless. But I have to keep reminding myself of the Bible verse that says that God is our refuge and strength, and that He is always there to help in trouble. I can't change situations or make them better, but He can. I just have to keep taking everything to Him. I'll always be there for my friends, to do whatever I can, but He is the real refuge from trouble. So next time you're feeling down because people you love are hurting, take it to God. He is a refuge.
