What do you do when you don't know what to do?

I stepped into this season with full assurance that He who calls will provide.  I stepped out knowing that I had NO CLUE how He would provide, but only knowing that He called me to step.  And He has provided thus far, in miraculous ways, no doubt.  And yet here I am, weeping before Him, asking for the faith to continue to believe that He will provide.  I'm to the place where I have no back-up plan, no secret savings account, no money in my wallet or checking account... I've scrapped my item of greatest value (my beloved car, Henry) for a mere $233 just to be able to pay this month's bills... and I don't know what is going to happen when the bills start over in a few weeks.  I can't find a job, the temp place doesn't even have work, and I am as convinced as ever that I am exactly where He has called me to be... but my faith is waining and my depression is deepening and my anxiety is growing and fear is taking root... and I don't know what to do...

This is not unfamiliar territory for me, by any means.  And yet it never really becomes easier, or I never become much better at it.  And that is maybe the reason for such deep fear- I know where this has lead over and over in my life, and I can't ask anyone to go there with me again...

So what do you do when you don't know what to do?  Well, all I know is to do what you do know how to do.  Cleave to Scripture, fall to your knees both in gratitude and desperate need, and listen for His voice... cling to His promises, remember His faithfulness, meditate on His Truth, abide in His steadfast love...

Part of all that for me is soaking in music that embodies all of that... listening to this song is one of the things I do when I don't know what to do...

Reason to Sing - All Sons and Daughters 

When the pieces seem too shattered
To gather off the floor
And all that really matters
Is that I don't feel You anymore
No, I don't feel You anymore  

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that You're still holding
The whole world in Your hands
And that is a reason to sing 

When I'm overcome by fear
And I hate everything I know
If this waiting lasts forever
I'm afraid I might let go
I'm afraid I might let go 

If there be a victory
Would You sing it over me now?
Your peace is the melody
Would You sing it over me now?
If there be a victory
Would You sing it over me now?
Oh Lord, Your peace is the melody
Would you sing it over me now?
