God, You are enough.

As much as it hurts, I need the Lord's rod and staff. I have cried out to God to help me understand the condition of my heart right now. Despite all the many amazing blessings I am so thankful for, I've had silly moments of discontentment. Sometimes I worry about time going by so fast. If only we could have a baby, or at least a dog, pay off all the school debt, etc. I prayed that God would show me how to deal with the longings of my heart. He has relentlessly provided me with an answer to how to deal with my hearts longings. The sermon Sunday was about how God is enough. Good things come in His timing. I've been thinking this over and randomly opened my Bible to the 23 Psalm. Then the verse of the day on my Phone Bible App just happened to be
Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
God, You are enough. You refresh my soul, and will bring me through every trial. I love and trust You.
You alone are God.
Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
