Life can be a difficult journey sometimes. The continual process of messing up, learning, and growing can be exhausting and messy.
Or it can be uplifting and beautiful.
Considering that omnipresent God is with you all the time, even through your struggles and weaknesses, is an immense encouragement!
"...because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
He promises to give you strength, wisdom, and peace to carry on unto the next day.
"...but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31 ESV)
"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5 NASB)
"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7 CSB)
Life is hard.
But it's not impossible.
"For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37 CSB)
Yes, there are struggles. But those struggles produce character, and shape part of who you are today.
You are endowed with strength.
You are loved.
You are never alone.
"I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me." (Kari Jobe)
Even in the struggle, God is good.
Love this post!! Those are some of my favorite verses! I don't know how many of you still like to listen to lullaby CDs, but there's a really good one called Hidden In My Heart, and the songs it has for Isaiah 40:31 & Philippians 4:7 popped into my head as soon as I read this. :)
I love that Kari Jobe song!!
