moving through

I have difficulty separating life situations from joy. I want to keep my eyes on the Lord. I want to be joyful in all circumstances...but when I have too much to think about, or too much to do, I suddenly find myself slipping off into introverted art land, drowning in my own inability to deal with real life. I find myself desiring a way to escape, a safe person that is flesh and blood. God, give me peace. Let me be satisfied that you are at work in this confusion. You are working for the good in me, and you have my best interests in mind. Don't let me drown.
