Sack Cloth and Ashes

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from Your presence

And do not take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation

And sustain me with a willing spirit.

Psalm 51:10-13

Everybody has tough times.  Bad stuff can overwhelm us and make us feel as though we are without hope.  We fixate on what we cannot fix and while we are fixating, God is fixing us.

God never leaves us.  When we run away, He chases us down the street, all the while calling to us, “I am the hope of the world, trust Me.” 

Just turn around and flag Him down and He will pick you up.
