Hold My Hands Tightly

It's 4 a.m. now and I just couldn't sleep. My mind is just restless and I can't stop asking God for advice for a certain dilemma I have. I prayed desperately that I would hold on to God no matter what; that he would guide me through. Suddenly a thought came to my mind.

Most of the time when I face difficulties, I would pray that I will hold on tight to God and that I would not let go of Him. But, I realized that most of the time, I failed to hold on to Him as tightly as I would have expected. A thought popped into my mind and I realized that I needed to ask God to hold me tightly in times of trouble. (Of course, I agree 100% that we need to hold on tightly to God at all times. Just that for this particular situation of mine this time, I needed to know that He is there to hold my hands.) When I try to hold on tightly onto God,there are times where I failed (well,most of the time). I don't know how tightly I could hang on to Him. But one thing that I'm sure of; is that when God holds my hand, He will NEVER let go of me; even when there are times that I may feel like letting go.I'm assured that He will keep holding me in His hands, and that I will never stray far from Him.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus ou Lord." (Romans 8: 38-39)
