” I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.” Psalm 143:5

“Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do you will, for you are my God; may your good spirit lead me on level ground.” Psalm 143:9-10

“Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.” Ecclesiastes 7:3

Don’t give up. Lately I have been battling internally with the refining that God is doing in my own life and yesterday I came across the verse in Ecclesiastes when I needed it most and my devotional this morning pointed me to the verses in Psalm 143. I felt called to remind someone that no matter how ugly it seems, how hard the hill is to climb, no matter how thick the mud is. YOU WILL COME THROUGH THIS!

Cry out to your heavenly Father.

He is listening, he is with you in every circumstance. You may think because its ugly and hard he isn’t with you but these are the moments that change everything. You have to make the decision to keep going. Lean on his strength, you are not meant to do this on your own. God is with you even when it feels like there is no way but he is just wanting you to take a step in faith, put your hope in him and his word. His word is a lamp for our feet, a light onto our path (Psalm 119:105).

We serve a faithful God. He will not leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8), he is with you.

Get on your knees, cry out to God, scream into a pillow, call on him with a sincere heart. He will meet you right where you are. You do not have to put yourself together to meet with God, he wants you as you are.

You have made it this far, you still have a journey to continue on. Don’t give up.

Lord I pray for the person that is reading blog that you will meet them where they are. Cover them in your love, hug them, let them know that you are near to them and you will work through this for them and with them. Your strength is sufficient for us, you are faithful through every storm, to every sunrise. God you are an amazing father that will never leave us. Help us call on your name, on your strength. Remind us of your faithfulness.
