I can't think straight. I have to control myself to steady the whirlwind of nagging thoughts streaming through my head. I wish I could let them go, but it takes all the concentration in the world to replace them with anything else. These moments of hardships though, while incredibly distressing, have a sweetness to them that's hard to explain. It's in moments like these that I cling most tightly to Jesus and so clearly feel Him holding me with a grip I'm convinced will never loosen.
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 28-32
Thank you Lord, for how You carry your children. Thanks for how you love so deeply and assure us of your faithfulness in moments when we need nothing more. Help me to dwell on You and not on the earthly fears of what could transpire. I need You... I always need You.
Love, Your daughter
