Strength

Saturday, when I found myself having a melt-down in my car, I thought to myself, "I can't be the only one". I can't be the only with fears that seem to suffocate me at times, and I can't be the only one that questions things and I can't be the only one who thinks to themselves, "this shouldn't still hurt, I should be over this by now."
I certainly can't be the only one who wonders if they have failed, failed as a friend, as a wife, as Christ-Follower. In that moment, with tear filled-eyes and a heavy heart, I asked the Lord to give me strength---Strength to press on and strength to trust Him. How easy it sounds and how tough it really is to trust Him.

I know I am not alone in my thoughts and fears, and I know that on any given day, there are people having these same conversations in there heart and mind. Thank goodness, our strength is not of our own.

I was reminded a few verses of a song I heard a while back...

When the tears keep pouring down,
And my lips can't make a sound,
I know You hear my prayer,
And Your strength is always there!

I look to You to find my strength.
Carry me to the end of my days!
A steady hand to lead me through,
Arms of faith to bring me back to You!
I will keep my eyes on love,
Set my heart on things above!
When my soul is so afraid,
I look to You to find my strength!
