At times things of this world overwhelm me. I spread myself too thin, making myself available to everyone when I should be taking time for myself, or constantly overbooking myself so that I do not have any down time. I set high expectations and am always trying to make sure that everyone is happy. Stress builds up inside of me from all of these things until I feel like I am a dam that is about to burst. I keep pressing down my emotions, but they keep coming up to the surface until I finally cannot take it any longer.
Right now I am hanging on by a small thread over a sea of turmoil, stress, and emotions. At this point I need to remember that I am not in control. I do not have the power to fix things or control how others react. I do not control my future or the things of this world. God is in control and holds all of the power. He holds each one of us in the palm of His hand and He molds us into the person that He wants us to be. He will lead me in the right direction. I may not know where He will take me but He will never leave me. He is in control. He will take away all of my pain and sorrows and will embrace me in His loving arms. He will never forsake me.
So when I feel as if the things of this world are out of my control and like I cannot do things on my own it is because I really cannot. He will lead me in the right direction and help me through all of this stress. It does not help to become stressed and upset about things because they do not matter in the big scheme of things, they are only a moment, God is forever. That is where my focus should be, I should always focus on God and focus on what He wants for me and others. Sometimes I believe that I have to be strong all the time and that crying demonstrates to the world that I am weak. The truth is that I am weak and I'm beginning to realize that it is ok for me to cry. God will be strong for me and comfort me. I cannot rely on "my own strength" because it is not mine at all. It all comes from God.
Every Single Tear
~Scott Kirppayne
"You feel insignificant, a whisper in the wind.
Sometimes you think nobody knows your name.
But there's somebody watching over you.
And he knows everything you're going through.
He sees every single tear.
He feels everything you're feeling.
He wants to hold you close and dry your eyes.
Oh your heart is what he hears when the world just sees you crying.
No matter what the pain he cares about every single tear.
Overwhelmed by circumstances out of your control.
Hope can be the hardest thing to find.
When you're like a heart without a home.
You don't have to face this hurt alone.
He sees every single tear.
He feels everything you're feeling.
He wants to hold you close and dry your eyes.
Oh your heart is what He hears when the world just sees you crying.
No matter what the pain He cares about every single tear.
If God adorns the lilies of the fields.
And cares for every sparrow in the sky.
How much more is He aware of your sorrow and despair.
How much does He care about your life.
He sees every single tear.
He feels everything you're feeling.
He wants to hold you close and dry your eyes.
Oh your heart is what He hears when the world just sees you crying.
No matter what the pain He cares about every single tear."
