The Past, The Present and the Future....
The Past ~ Sometimes the past seems to enshroud me. Like a thick cloud that won't fade. Mistakes and Memories and faces come into the mind as if they were but yesterday. People I've said goodbye to and those who I never had a chance to penetrate into my heart.
The Present ~ When times like these come in, my days are spent in reflection. Hours spent in regret and shame. And I become useless for the cause of Christ.
The Future ~ Days of reflection cause my future to be bleak and uncertain with no where to turn and no place to run. I sink in despair with no hope.

But in the stillness of my soul whispers the old hymn... In Times Like These
(Ruth Caye Jones - Mother Jones)
In times like these, you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one
This Rock is Jesus, The only One
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
In times like these you need the Bible
In times like these o be not idle
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one
This Rock is Jesus, The only One
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
In times like these, I have a Savior
In times like these, I have an anchor
I'm very sure, I'm very sure
My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one
This Rock is Jesus, The only One
I'm very sure, I'm very sure
My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
With Christ as my Guide
The Past ~ is in the Past. Friends can be found there, Memories can hold such joy, and reflection can cause me to go forward.
The Present ~ is a new day of life. The LORD is here beside me, and He will guide me.
The Future ~ is full of Hope and Faith... Trust and Resting in the arms of my Savior. And there is no fear in His arms.
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." ~ Psalms 84:11.

Hi Jen!! Don't worry, you're not the only one who feels that way sometimes ;) LOL Praying for you!
Warren Wiersbe wrote that many of us are crucified between two thieves: regrets about the past, and worries about the future. I can identify.
Appreciated the posting of Ruth Caye Jones's gospel song, "In Times Like These." She had it right. And today is the anniversary of her death in 1972.
I notice that you list hymns among your favourite music. Join the club! I invite you to check out my daily blog Wordwise Hymns. It lists things that happened on each day related to hymn history. The story of Mrs. Jones's hymn is there today. God bless.
