“When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful.” ~ D.L. Moody
I'm not sure why, but multiple people have come up to me recently commenting on how overwhelmed they feel with life right now. It seems so many in my circle of friends and family are battling daily frustrations and struggles that pile up higher and higher until they are left feeling exhausted, defeated, and weak. And in this state of weakness, Satan is whispering lies to them about how they don't measure up, or that others must despise them because of their failures.
When we are mentally, physically, and spiritually depleted it is easy to give into those negative fears and lies.
If you feel worn down this week by life, take a break. Stop trying to push the boulder up the mountain and simply open up your hands to God! Let Him take all your burdens from you, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Let Him be strong where you feel weak. Trust in Him to work things for good. Believe that you are loved and worthy because you are His child. Don't entertain any negative self-talk, only His perfect promises of love. Find your strength in God today!
"Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always." 1 Chronicles 16:11
Journey on!
