Isaiah 40:31 ~ But those who hope in The Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Matthew 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Mark 4:19 but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.
I know there are days I feel beaten down and just ready to call it quits. It seems like no matter what you do you just can't catch a break, the whole world is against you. One evening as I was getting my 4 year old ready for bed, it had been a long day for me and I was so tired and just feeling stressed-along with having health issues I was just in a lot of pain. She asked me what was wrong and I responded with "mommy is just falling apart". She looked at me and said no you're not! look at me mommy-you're not falling apart because I love you and you're ok. I immediately thought about Jesus, our Heavenly Father. He says the same thing to us, we won't fail or fall apart because He loves us. All we have to do is look to Him. What is the point of being anxious or worried about our future when God already has our path paved for us. We get too wrapped up in our fleshly desires to focus on the real purpose of our life, to worship the Lord, seek his face and prepare ourselves for Heaven. Sure, we will have hard days due to relationships, work, feeling alone, hurt, sickness .. whatever it may be but the good news is God cares and loves us. He has our best interest in mind, it doesn't matter what we think is best for us or what we want in our life Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in The Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. The secret is putting on the full armor of God - Ephesians 6:10-12 A final word: Be strong in The Lord and His mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, against evil spirts in heavenly places. The devil seeks to destroy us in any way he can, stand firm and trust in God. We won't fall apart because He loves us and we'll be ok.
I love the falling apart post. It's so true and accurate and knowing that we have a father that never leaves is such a testament of who God is. We may think we are falling apart but in actuality we may be falling into place!!
