I'd like to share with you an old English hymn that has been of a great comfort & encouragement to me in my difficult times, I am sure you'd like it too :)

God Moves In A Mysterious Way

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov'reign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;


The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r.

Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

"God Moves in a Mysterious Way" was originally titled "Conflict: Light Shining Out Of Darkness." It is reportedly the last hymn Cowper ever wrote by him.

Being curious about the incident behind the song, when I looked for it... it was ALTOGATHER WONDERFUL ~~

'Cowper often struggled with depression and doubt. One night he decided to commit suicide by drowning himself. He called a cab and told the driver to take him to the Thames River. However, thick fog came down and prevented them from finding the river. After driving around lost for a while, the cab finally stopped and let Cowper out. To Cowper's surprise, he found himself on his own door step: God had sent the fog to keep him from killing himself. Even in our blackest moments, God watches over us.'


thick fog are BIG comes DOWN with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head :)
You can relate the song to you own personal situation whatever be... May be you would say... 'Oh, mine? That's complicated you won't understand...!' remember, GOD MAY TAKE YOU TO ANY DEPTHS to manifest his glory in a way you've never seen before..! Our savior needs to tarry 3 long days away from merry & Martha when Lazarus was dead. He didn't care about them? Well, HE WEPT!! No where in the bible we read Jesus wept but here... then what is the possible reason for his delay? The answer is 'Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? (Joh 11:40)" FOR THE REASON we may see the glory of GOD in our eyes. God knows our pain & WEEPS with us BUT he is still tarrying that the His glory may be manifested in us through this difficult path that we tread.

REMEMBER,

'Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.'
