right in front of her

A blogpost I had drafted but not post from 2/26/14

There is a young lady who is looking for something to satisfy her. Some days she is carefree, but most days she is anxious about her responsibilities and future. She tries to rationalize things, look for the best possible route in life... She seeks comfort in her people. She looks to blogs and movies for answers. When trouble comes she questions why they come about. She tries to busy herself with work, hobbies, meaningless things. She wonders why people are unreliable, do not meet her expectations. She wonders if she will find that someone who will satisfy her needs. She looks to the right, to the left, and all around. But... her hope, her answers, her desires are all right in front of her. At the flip of a page, at folding of the hands and closing of the eyes, and at the stillness of her heart, her hope is there. I say, this young lady is me. I may agonize over things, over people, and have no peace in my heart because I ignore what is right in front of me. My hope is God and His words are right in front of me. I can pray and come to Him anytime, and He knows my heart full well. Even if I have poor reasoning, He does not.
