It Is Well With My Soul

Once upon a time, when I couln't handle my problems, I crawled into a bottle of pills. When I miscarried, after years of trying to get pregnant, it was Atavan. When my husband stroked out, it was Xanex.
But I can't do that anymore. I'm reaching for higher ground, trusting God to carry me through. How blessed is that sense of calm that caused the writer to say:

When peace like a river attends my way
When sorrow like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast brought me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Amen!! And you know, through some of our biggest trials, it's a big blessing to have steadfast friends ready with a word of encouragement or a hand on the shoulder!
