God's word is clear: When we genuinely lift our hearts and prayers to Him, He renews our strength. Are you almost to weary to lift your head? Then bow it. offer your concerns and your fears to your Father in heaven. He is always at your side, offering His love and His strength.
Are you troubled or anxious? Take your anxieties to God in prayer. Are you weak or worried? Delve deeply into God's Holy Word and sense His presence in the quiet moments of the early morning.
Are you spiritually exhausted? Call upon fellow believers to support you, and call upon Christ to renew your Spirit and your life. Your savior will not let you down. He will lift you up when you ask Him to do so. So what are you waiting for???
(The message)
So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without His unfolding grace.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Walking with God leads to receiving His intimate counsel,
and counseling leads to deep restoration... PaulP
As humans with limited understanding,we can never fully comprehend the hand of God. But as believers in a benevolent God, we must always trust the heart of our Heavenly Father.
Before His crucifixion, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives and poured out His heart to God (Luke 22). Jesus knew of the agony that He was destined to endure, but He also knew that God's will must be done. We, like our Savior, face trials that bring fear and trembling to the very depths of our souls, but like Christ,we too, must ultimately seek God's will, not our own.
As your day unfolds, seek God's will for your own life and obey His word. When we entrust our life to Him completely and without reservation, He will give you the strength to meet any challenge, the courage to face any trial, and the wisdom to live in His righteousness and in His peace.
" Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. (face to face) All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely." 1 Corinthians 13:12
PaulP
