When Will Enough be Enough

When will enough be enough?
Pray every day that this problem will go away
But it seems like it will stay
It plagues me night and day
How much more can I take?

Doesn’t God hear me? Doesn’t He care?
Sure He does
He said He won’t put more on me than I can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13)
He knows when enough is enough
So hang on in there.

Healing

I feel fine, as well as can be
But that wasn’t always the case with me
I remember praying day and evening
For the Lord to bless me with His healing
Singing the words of Jerimiah 17:14

Doctors had said they couldn’t help me
That was news I couldn’t believe
No medicine, procedure, or surgery
Existed that could help me

This happened a few years ago
Today I happened to take a few minutes to give God thanks
I must admit I don’t pray as hard as I used to pray
But I never want to forget
What a merciful healing miracle for me He did
I couldn’t afford to leave work on disability
I begged that God miraculously heal me

Lord, I pause today to say thanks
And please extend your healing powers to others today
Who are not well or are in pain
What doctors and medicine can’t do
Can still be healed by You.

A Place for Me

Somewhere there’s a place for me
Where trouble would have ceased
Right now it’s just a dream
But God can make it a reality

A place for me
Where sunshine is all I’ll see
Can roam carelessly in the streets
Just exist happily and free

So tired of this way of living
You are merciful and forgiving
Somehow, someway I pray
I wake up and things will have changed

I know You will, I know You can
So take my hand
And guide me away
To the new place to stay
Thanks in advance I pray.

Scripture references: Psalm 51, Ephesians 3:20
Background
Problems can be so great and unbearable that sometimes you just want to pack up and move to a dream place where problems don’t exist. It doesn’t have to be heaven, especially if you are not ready to transition. It doesn’t have to be a physical place at all. It could just be a removal of the problems that are troubling you. When things would get unbearable, I would read Psalm 51 a lot. The Psalm is about pleading with God to help you while at the same time acknowledging that you have sinned and need His forgiveness. I used to pray for a better place to live for many years. And not only did God give it to me, He blessed me with some stuff I only dreamed would come true. God is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all we ask or think—as if He is taking us into a dream land.
