Life happens

Life has it's ups and downs. Some periods of life seem to be more up and sometimes it's more down. I think I'm in a "down" time. It seems like lots of bad things happen. Why? Why do kids get cancer? Why do people say things to hurt others? Why don't people take time to be together and do things for others? Why do our kids seem to drive us nuts sometimes? Why does sin creep into our lives? Why do bad attitudes seem to take over sometime? Why is the world going to hell in a handbasket? These questions can overwhelm me at times and cause me to start to sink in the floodwaters of life. That's when I have to cling to my only life raft. The Lord and His Word.
Job 29:3 "by His light I walked through darkness.."
Psalm 16:8 "I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
Ps 42:5 "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God"
