Life is a struggle but God has Control

So I am facing the darkness of this world. My heart is broken and my mind is wishing that I could just rewind this life to a point where happiness and peace reigned. But as I sit and write this blog, my heart is heavy and my faith is challenged. However when I turn to Jesus and I give my all to him, I know that he carries me. I pray for my Dad tonight! He is not well. He is suffering in a way that is so hard to witness and although I know that mental health is one of things that doesn't matter until we don't have it, but for my family at this time, we are broken. God as reminded me of a wonderful promise:

6 Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. 7 Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.Philippians 4

Tonight my prayer is these words by Stanley Ditmer

1. I shall not fear though darkened clouds may gather round me;
The God I serve is one who cares and understands.
Although the storms I face would threaten to confound me,
Of this I am assured:
I'm in his hands.

Chorus
I'm in his hands,
I'm in his hands;
Whate'er the future holds
I'm in his hands,
The days I cannot see
Have all been planned for me;
His way is best, you see;
I'm in his hands.

2.What though I cannot know the way that lies before me?
I still can trust and freely follow his commands;
My faith is firm since it is he that watches o'er me;
Of this I'm confident:
I'm in his hands.

3.In days gone by my Lord has always proved sufficient,
When I have yielded to the law of love's demands;
Why should I doubt that he would evermore be present
To make his will my own?
I'm in his hands!
