His Life Crumbles

     To continue supporting the family, he accepts a job 60 miles from home. His kids - he loves deeply - don't want to leave their friends. His wife wants a divorce. He dives even deeper into his Bible. 

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts? - Psalm 13:2.

I acknowledged my (lifelong) sins. - Psalm 32:5

I cried out to God for help. When I was in distress I sought the Lord. My soul refused to be comforted. My spirit grew faint. - Psalm 77:1-3

Hear my prayer O Lord. Let my cry for help come to you. Don't hide your face from me when I am in distress. - Psalm 102:1-2. 

     He begins to lose weight. 

The cords of death entangled me. The anguish of the grave came upon me. I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. - Psalm 116:3-4

Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him. For he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me and I will answer him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. - Psalm 91:14-18

     More than two months ending 1986, the man searched God's word. He has not heard from Father God. Christmas Day was hardest.

What might 1987 bring?
