Do you feel like you are drowning? That whatever you are dealing with is too big, overwhelming, and will never end?
I was talking with a friend this past Wednesday night. His son had suffered from life threatening food allergies since birth. Food allergies that had once caused him to drive 110MPH to get to the hospital. Notice that I said that he had suffered from food allergies. Today, more than a decade later, his son is healthy and able to to eat a much broader range of foods. Food no longer equals death.
Got me thinking about how we encounter these huge life deals. Issues that we never think will ever pass. Obstacles such as:
- A surgery
- A medical issue
- A car accident
- A outstanding debt/bill
- A baby not sleeping or that has issues eating
I want to encourage you today. If you feel overwhelmed by something, drowning in the present, you can do this. God is there to provide His strength. You don’t have to do this on your own. One day you’ll look back in the mirror and shake your head. You’ll wonder how something that had been so consuming could vanish into a past worry. And if it doesn’t go away (sometimes that happens), you’ll know that He is there with you, guiding you closer to Him.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
and increases the power of the weak.
– Isaiah 40:29 (NLT)
