Easy Life
My God shall be my strength. Isa. 49:5. —Thoughts for the Quiet Hour
How many times have we prayed to God for things to be easier, and he does not make it easier for us even when we think we are faithful and he should, yet something of a miracle happens… We get through it, not because of our strength but because of His…. I know for me my life has become a real challenge lately, it seems the more I do, the more that needs to be done, everyone around me is saying hey take it easy you are going to kill yourself, and they are right to a point… I need to turn to my Lord and Savior Jesus for strength to make it through anything that may come my way, not only so that I can do my daily task, but so that the world can see His strength through me…
There always seems to be something going on around me, yet when I look back over the last year or so I see so much growth in my prayer life, I dont pray very much about my trials and tribulations any more, I have given most of them to God, I know he has allowed them there so I see them as blessings, I know I am stronger today because of God’s strength working within me…
Dont get me wrong I am far from living a stress free life with out problems, but today I handle that part of my life alot better, the first thing I do is give it to God, I try not to worry over it, I have found that the more I pray about it, and the less I worry about it, the better I feel about it…
Many times when we start to focus on a problem and not turn to God instead of the trouble becoming less of a problem the opposite thing happens, we start trying to fix it, we want to get in there and do something, so we do, and it doesnt help, so we worry and try something else, then we do something else, and before you know it, we take this little thing and blow it so far out of proportion we cant even see where we messed up, then we run to God and ask him to fix it..
God is my strength, I grow stronger and stronger every day, not because of anything I do, but just because he loves me… What a wonderful God we serve, he gives us strength to overcome something, then we take the credit… I did this and I did that well for today I am going to work on say God did this for me, and God allowed me to do that…
Dear God hear my prayers, I know you are never far from me, without you I will surly fail and stumble, Lord give me strength to be a light that shines bright for you, that the people in my life will see Your love through me, Lord thank you for making me stronger through the trials and tribulations in my life, let me not forget that it is you that gives me the strength to get through them and when I try I make them worse… Lord I love you more today then yesterday…
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty
