Sometimes things
Terrible things are out of your grasp to change
And fix
You can do everything thing God is telling you to do
But
Even in doing all those things
Because of someone else’s choices
You find yourself on a train that is going very very fast
The wrong way
Or at least it feels like its headed the wrong way
And their is absolutely no possible way you can stop it
Because of this
You consider
Jumping off
Getting on a different train
Or just running away
Thinking you might avoid some of the pain
These verses
These two little verses
Kept me on the train
The train that from my vantage point
Was going
Absolutely the wrong way
These verses gave me the courage to
Sit my ass down
And not jump off
Proverbs 3:5,6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 28:10
He who leads the upright along an evil path
will fall into his own trap,
but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
Please know we know this is not easy and that we are praying for you!
