When you finally throw your hands up and say, “God, I’m done. I can’t do this alone anymore…” That’s when He says, “It’s about time you come to me with your troubles. Now, let’s get to work and get you back on my plans I have for you.”
You know He never leaves you in your time of giving up- He wants you to come to Him. Lay it at his feet. Ask Him to guide and direct you in this time of feeling defeated.
We all have those times that we feel everything has landed on top of our shoulders and it’s a big weight to bear.
We don’t know which way to turn, but God is standing there with His arms open wide, just waiting for you to run to Him.
Galatians 6:9 reminds us that we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up. Hebrews 12:3 encourages us to consider Jesus’ endurance to avoid growing weary and losing heart. Philippians 4:13 offers strength through Christ to face any challenge.
I think we all have a little bit of trouble handing things over to Him; it’s not like He doesn’t already know what we’re going through, He knows everything about us. And the most amazing thing is…. HE STILL LOVES US… how about that??
So, remember, there is NOTHING too big to take to the Father. He wants to help us no matter how big or small it is.
Please…if you are feeling that heaviness in your heart or mind…He is just a whisper away.
Be blessed and never let your cup be empty. ☕️
