Yet, in the maddening maze of things,
And tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed trust my spirit clings;
I know that God is good!
John Greenleaf Whittier, "The Eternal Goodness"
I may not know much.... and that's pretty obvious in the scheme of things...... but I DO know that God is good and that He is always available to me, day or night. There is no storm that I cannot endure because God is right by my side, to guide, support, and direct me. The good can always be found if I turn my focus away from the difficulties.

The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
(Psalm 145:18)
He is near..... He hears..... He knows our heart. Even in times when we don't see direct answers to prayer, keep trusting in the Lord to listen and answer in His timing. Be patient, be trusting..... keep praying.

They will have no fear of bad news;
their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
(Psalm 112:7)
I can often fear the worst....even before it happens, IF it happens. When I behave this way, I'm not trusting the Lord for my protection, courage, and accepting His will for me. Going it alone simply doesn't work.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and Your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is trustworthy in all He promises
and faithful in all He does.
(Psalm 145:13)
He IS faithful.....He IS trustworthy.....He KEEPS His promises! Sometimes I let what is going on around me discourage me and push me off of the path of righteousness. Thankfully, the Lord and those He puts on that path with me, set me straight and get me moving back in the right direction. Life is rough, life isn't fair, but WITH God and His loving support, I can conquer anything.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in humans.
(Psalm 118:8)
There was a time in my life where I would have had no understanding of this scripture. To say that it's better to take refuge in something that I couldn't even see, as opposed to trusting a living, breathing, touchable entity, was beyond my logic. I'm happy to say that I "get it" now and know that all the relationships in my life are enriched and more fulfilling if I put God first.
