In Psalm 23:4, it says:
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Things around me are crumbling down onto me for the past few weeks, I felt neglected, helpless, dissappointed and useless. I found myself drawing further and further away from God these few weeks, as if I've lost touch with his presence. It seems as though everything I've done would end up being a failed product. I found myself walking deep into one of the darkest valley in my life, relationship with my parents, my studies... it felt too much for me to handle, I felt weak. I said I've put in effort in my Art, but in the end, it seems that its going no where...
As I was doing my school work just now, I felt an urge to pick up my guitar and just worship God alone in my room. It started with 'Deeper in Love', it was nice to listen to the sound of the guitar because its been rather long since I've touch it. Played 'I Just Want You' after that, and half way through, I just felt the presence of God coming over me, I started to flow in this spirit and wept, images of the past weeks flash in my mind as I find my comfort in him. I carried on playing with 'God of my Forever' and I found myself happy even as I wept in his presence. And den felt God telling me to place all my burdens and trust onto him and seek for him, as he will always be my tower of refuge. I went to flip open my bible to find the verse which reminded me of my current situation. Went through my past notes and found Psalm 23:4. I felt a sense of reassurance after reading the verse, because I know God will always be right beside me, providing everything I need to get through this valley, he will see me through this dark time and will surely make a stronger person through this walk past the valley.
