I Don't Think I Have Enough Strength to Continue On

​Hello everyone…and how is your Thursday? I'm just sitting here today…looking out onto a very cold day; but praise God that I have a comfortable and warm place to sit as I spend this time with you!
The other night, as I was spending time alone with God, I was praising Him for bringing me through one of the hardest days that I had probably ever experienced…at least recently. To begin with, I wasn't feeling my best; then I needed to make a phone call, and can you believe that I didn't even know what day it was…lol. Then after the phone call, I found myself attempting to post a writing that was already posted…and then from there, I had ordered some groceries to be delivered and found out that they were out of some of the things I really needed…and then from there, I can't even list all that took place in that very busy day. To be honest with you, I felt like I was going on fumes, even before the day was half done; but as I kept my focus on God, I found myself walking directly from one thing to another, until it was all done…praise God!
I'm sure that you too have experienced days, when your mind and body is telling you that there just isn't enough strength left to continue on with. Even though moments such as these can make life seem even more discouraging for us; there is a God who can step in and pick up the slack for us.
Last night, as I opened my Bible, my eyes were drawn to a couple Bible verses in Psalm 73:25-26, which reads… "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26) My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever."
As I took in every word…I was reminded, as to how we can make it during these very weak moments; for when our health fails us and our spirits fall low and become deeply discouraged; God remains with us and is more than able to step in and become the strength we lack…a strength that can lift us to our feet and keep us standing; and just think…He is ours forever…wow!
You know…one thing I learned and was greatly reminded of the other day; is that I am never alone, while walking through these very overwhelming moments of life…and you ask me how I know that; because I had experienced a God who not only took me through every part of that difficult day; but I also experienced a God who walked beside me and had allowed me to feel His presence, while going through every troubling moment.
Maybe today, you are experiencing similar feelings to mine and your strength is gone…and you're feeling as if you just can't make it much longer. Let me encourage you today, by saying that I know of a God who will show you how to make it. Many times, we become so wrapped up in these overwhelming moments; that we just can't see the way before us. It seems as if each cluttered moment clouds the way before us, until all we see are the moments that seem so hard to get through; but I have found that when we can turn away from what is before us and connect with a strength that is greater than every weakened moment we may face; then we will come to see…that as God walks us through one thing…He can take us through another, until we reach the end of these moments that Satan had once attempted to use against us.
Remember one thing…even though there may be a beginning to these hard and difficult times…there is ALWAYS an end to what we go through, when we have God walking with us; for He knows the way and how to lead us and give us the strength we need, to walk out of these weakened moments of despair…so never give up.
Lord Jesus, as we close this time with You, I would ask that you would be with the one who is discouraged today…the one who feels as if they have no more strength to continue on with. May you meet them at their place of weakness and be the strength they need…and may they also feel your presence, in a way that will always be a reminder to them that they are never alone…no matter what is going on around them…Amen!!
Have a very blessed day…and I hope you will return tomorrow, for another great visit! God bless!
It's Always & Only Because of Him…
