Psalm 43:5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God
Psalms 107:4-5 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them.
Jeremiah 50:6 My people have become lost sheep; Their shepherds have led them astray They have made them turn aside on the mountains; They have gone along from mountain to hill And have forgotten their resting place.When I was single, I felt alone and empty. Although I had my career and had gone to different places, I was not able to appreciate the beauty around me. Till I married and the wonderful babies came. My existence had a different meaning, I was half-filled. There was still that nagging feeling of lack.
It was a decade ago that began my spiritual journey.I thought I was on the right track, But I was on the secondary road.Though it helped and strengthened me, it was not complete.

Family, good family relationships makes a lot of difference for happiness and fulfillment, next to God.
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.To God be the glory!
