Praying Easing Me

My life is going crazy...I feel that I cannot gain any control over the events that are occuring in my life. I know that I need to take a deep breathe, maybe more thatn one and remember that I am not alone in my battles. That these jarring events are not of my doing and that I do not need to be in control of these events. Especially I need to have patience in these trying times.
I remembered a biblical quote that "covers" my turn state of mind.
May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience.
Colossians 1:11
I need His strength right now as I face a storm of difficult times. I am feeling like that little sparrow in the storm, a fish swimming upstream. Last night, I bowed my head and prayed that I would find the strength and patience to go on. I prayed for some time, just these words soak into my soul. Letting His words warm my spirit and make my confusion and impatience melt away as I slide into sleep.
This morning, I am feel better. The weight that has been pressing down on me is lifted. I am still facing these difficult times ahead but I know that Jesus Christ is with me.
