Trust in God

I woke up this morning with a song in my head, heart. About a year ago, Joy had a friend come to sing at church. If you missed it, he was awesome. He sang the following song.

My Father Watches Over Me

Verse 1
I trust in God wherever I may be
Upon the land or on the rolling sea
For come what may from day to day
My heavenly Father watches over me

Chorus
I trust in God, I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea
Though billows roll (though billows roll)
He keeps my soul (He keeps my soul)
My heavenly Father watches over me

Verse 2
He makes the rose an object of His care
He guides the eagle through the pathless air
And surely He remembers me
My heavenly Father watches over me

Chorus
I trust in God, I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea
Though billows roll (though billows roll)
He keeps my soul (He keeps my soul)
My heavenly Father watches over me

Verse 3
The valley may be dark, the shadows deep
But O the Shepherd guards His wandering sheep
And through the gloom, He’ll lead me home
My heavenly Father watches over me

Chorus
I trust in God, I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea
Though billows roll (though billows roll)
He keeps my soul (He keeps my soul)
My heavenly Father watches over me!

When I was a young man, I was constantly worried and concerned about "how I felt" about my relationship with God. If I felt badly, I was concerned that God was mad at me, or had left me. As I have grown older, these fits of malaise have decreased. I am more trusting. I am more relaxed. I know more about how life works. I know that he will never leave us or forsake us.

If you are facing a problem, or just feel "far away," do not despair. God is with you. Listen for the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and follow them. He has not left you. Your heavenly father is watching over you. Trust in God.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
