MY STRONG TOWER





IF EVER I HAVE NEEDED A STRONG TOWER IT IS NOW. I KEEP THINKING OVER AND OVER OF THE VERSE THAT SAYS THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER THE RIGHTEOUS RUN INTO IT AND ARE SAVED. OK MAYBE NOT A EXACT QUOTE OR IS THAT A SONG NOT SURE. BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BROUGHT A LOT OF FEAR INTO MY MIND AND HAS CAUSED MANY PANIC ATTACKS. KINDA A BLAST FROM THE PAST BUT NOT IS A GOOD WAY. PANIC TRIED TO KEEP ME HOME TODAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO GO TO CHURCH.

I HAVE TO CONFESS HERE. I HAVE BEEN READING AND READING AND PRAYING ALOT HERE THIS WEEKEND ABOUT A SITUATION THAT CAME UP HERE. BUT AS MUCH AS I TAKE COMFORT IN THE WORD IT HAS BEEN GOOD JUST TO TALK IN EMAILS TO A COUPLE OF PASTORS I KNOW AND THE WIFE OF ONE. SOMETIMES I HOPE THIS IS NOT WRONG TO SAY. BUT I BELIEVE IN READING THE WORD AS MUCH AS ANYONE, BUT SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO TALK. BEING ALONE HERE SO MUCH I DON'T GET MUCH OF A CHANCE TO DO THAT. EXCEPT WHEN I TALK VIA EMAIL AND OF COURSE I TALK TO CHIP YES I TALK TO MY BIRD . HE DOES NOT GOSSIP. I AM HAVING A HARDER TIME WITH THIS THAN I WANT TO ADMIT. I HAD NIGHTMARES OF THE PAST LAST NIGHT ALL BECAUSE SOMEONE SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE. WELL ANYWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK I AM STRONGER THAN I AM. THIS HAS REALLY SHATTERED MY NERVES. OK I WILL STOP RAMBLING NOW.

Psalms 61:4: "Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings."

Proverbs 18:10: "10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe."
