Faith Words: Comfort On a Cold Day
It was so foggy this morning. The air was heavy and damp, drizzling its chilly droplets on everything, everywhere. As the day progressed, a cold rain began to fall to an ominous wintry thunder echoing eerily in the distance.
The world was shrouded in winter's dreariness but I was safe and warm, cuddled up in my comfy chair next to the fire. I did not dread the damp; I did not fear the thunder. I sat securely under my warm blanket.
Troubles creep into our lives sometimes, as thick as a dense fog, obscuring our view, chilling our hearts. Sometimes trouble rains heavier, soaking us with fear, rumbling threats of more trouble to come.
That's the time to get closer to our Father, sinking deep into His comforting word, resting confidently in His promises. As trouble seems to grow, pull the cover of His love securely around your heart. He gently whispers, "Don't be afraid; I Am right here."
Comforted,
Patrice
Romans 8:38-39 NIV
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The Lord will work out His plans for my life -- for Your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for You made me.
