I having been having a bit of a hard time lately. I have been Plan-A-ing pretty well and my wife and I enjoy good times talking on the phone and she has visited a couple of times since she left.<P>However, I have just felt really down recently and I don't really know why. I just feel like I have no energy left and I just can't continue with anything anymore. Don't worry it's nothing serious ... just feeling a bit down and fed up with my situation.<P>Anyway, I have the following link saved on my PC that helps me out when i'm feeling like this. I thought others here might appreciate it.<P>I think the last line is the best bit "God always keeps His word".<P>Plec.<P>Promises are the hope of our heart. A child's security depends on a parent's promise to keep him or her safe. A spouse can live with confidence because of a mate's promise of fidelity, loyalty, and love. Businesses depend on promises from employees, vendors, and clients. Countries remain safe when neighbors keep their promise to honor their borders. <P>Unfortunately, hearts and relationships are broken in all of those situations by unkept promises. There is one Promise-Maker, though, who can be trusted completely and without fear. That one is God. He has given us hundreds of promises in His Word, and He keeps every one of them. <P>If anyone had reason to wonder if God could or would keep His promises, it was Abraham. But "contrary to hope, in hope [Abraham] believed" (Romans 4:18). We know that what God had promised him—that he and his wife would have a child when they were both past 90 years old—could not have happened without divine intervention. <P>Are you looking for hope? Then search the Scriptures diligently and claim the promises of God that apply to you. Promises truly are the hope of the heart, and God always keeps His word. —JDB

Hi Plec, <p>I have had two days of grace now - so all I can say is that I wish you the same. For no apparent reason, I just feel better. I feel the peace of God and so far nothing has shaken it. I know the bad times will come back but I am just enjoying the break.<p>Lord, please fill Plec with so much love and conviction in his heart that each day it is easy for him to go on and testify Your presence in his life. Lord, let him have a little sign of truce as you allowed me to have it. Bring him the comfort he needs to continue. In Jesus' Name, I ask You this and let Your Divine Will be done. Amen.
