My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak. PSALM 31:10

I am not neglecting your pain or putting off your problems. I I know you are losing hope, I know that your strength is nearly gone. I see your struggles and the emotions that cause a battle within you that threatens to destroy your faith. I want you to come to Me. I am with you and I am the source of your strength... to give you the rest, refreshment, and revival that your soul so desperately needs. I know you're tired. When you are past the point of exhaustion, follow My example in the boat, as I rest through the storm. I know, and so should you, that there is nothing to fear. I am with you, I am for you, and I am mighty to save. I have promised you that in this life you will have troubles. They should be no surprise. It is your faith in Me that keeps you from being overtaken by the storm ... it is in trusting in Me that the wind and the waves will be calmed. When all your strength is gone, I am your strength when you are weak, I will comfort you and consume you with grace. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. I am not too weak to handle what you can't. My power and presence changes everything, especially the most hopeless of circumstances. All you need is Me. I am the lifter of your head, and I will give you the grace and strength to stand firm in faith and keep focused on sharing in My glory. FAITH THOUGHTS Find time to truly rest. Sit quietly in God's presence and listen for His voice as you pray. In what way do you need God to bless you in this moment? Let Him strengthen your faith through His promises as you eagerly wait for your prayers to be answered.
