He Will Bring Me Through

Lately, I have been struggling with my future. There are so many unknowns for me right now. Where am I going to live this summer, and where will I work? Where do I want to go to medical school after I graduate? Can I even get into a medical school? What do I do if I don't? What classes do I need to take this summer? Will I be able to do Chicago Semester? Should I apply for another job for next year? If I get into medical school and find the right man, do I get married in medical school, or wait til I get out? There are just so many unknowns. A lot are far off in the future, but they are things I need to be working on now if they are going to work on in the future.
Thankfully, I have two wonderful people in my life who have reminded me that God holds my future!
First, Benjamin reminded me that God knows my inmost being. He will provide for what I will need in order to complete His will for my life. What a comfort!
And today in chapel, Pastor Bill talked briefly about the future as well. After chapel, I spoke with my friend Lisa about my worries. She blessed me by keeping me in her prayers all day long, and then sending me her devotional book with a few pages marked. My soul was nourished as I read these pages, along with the note she wrote. She reminded me to look into my past, and remember all the ways that God has already provided answers. Will He not continue to do so? Of course He will!
Here is a poem in the devotional that I would like to share.
Is there some problem in your life to solve,
Some passage seeming full of mystery?
God knows, who brings the hidden things to light.
He keeps the key.

Is there some door closed by the Father's hand
Which widely opened you had hoped to see?
Trust God and wait-for when he shuts the door
He keeps the key.

Is there some earnest prayer unanswered yet,
Or answered NOT as you had thought 'twould be?
God will make clear His purpose by and by.
He keeps the key.

Have patience with your God, your patient God,
All wise, all knowing, no long lingerer He,
And of the door of all your future life
He keeps the key.

Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest,
To know of EVERY door He keeps the key.
That He at last when just HE sees is best,
Will give it THEE.
