Several years ago, I willingly entered a really tough relationship. Not only that, I had no strength to leave once I found myself there. Instead, I stayed and went through some things I later found myself having to recover from. During this time, I had no stability. I had nothing to lean onto. I felt alone for most of the time and honestly, I wanted to be alone. I didn’t want anyone to enter that situation with me.

There are so many women and men that have found themselves in unstable places. You don’t know if you will ever find yourself in that stable place again. From what God has shown me, I can literally hide in him. And I can hide until I am well enough to peak outside and stick my little toe out. He is faithful in proving that he will restore me, even from my own wrong decisions. And he is faithful in showing me a better path, one where I can avoid the previous mistakes that caused me to find myself in unstable situations.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

Psalm 91 NIV
