He gives more grace

When I crawled into bed tonight, I was asking God why He's not talking to me. When Bill was sick, I often felt God speaking so clearly to me, but during this time of trouble, not so much. So tonight I woke up and remembered the words "He giveth more grace." I looked it up and here's the song I remember from childhood:

He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials he multiplies peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

So I had to eat my words. He does speak--I just need to be quiet enough (asleep) to listen!

Jean

I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands
and my soul refused to be comforted.
I remembered you, O God, and I groaned;
I mused, and my spirit grew faint.
You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
I remembered my songs in the night. Psalm 77:1-6
