A lot is swirling around right now in my world and I think that is the same for most of you, too... and this is more than just the story of a girl with a broken heart... life has just been less fun the past few weeks for several reasons.
Recently, I've felt out of control, exhausted, disappointed, frustrated, angry... yet still hopeful and clinging to a joy deeper than what I can see with my eyes. Today is better than yesterday and I believe it will continue to head in that direction.
I'm trying to focus my heart on what is good, right, lovely, etc. Some phrases/verses that I'm trying to keep on the forefront of my mind are:
Be still and know that I am God
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I will not leave you or forget you
On Christ the solid rock I stand when all around is sinking sand
Do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself
For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
when the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
when the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you
You make all things new

One good thing about feeling out of control...you have to give control over to Someone else. That's a scary thought sometimes, but His GPS rocks. He'll get you through it.
The verse you listed from Jeremiah is my life verse right now. I've been clinging to it for several months.
Hmmm, I am so glad to hear that you are growing in deeper intimacy with our Father through this. It's gonna be worth it...
