"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." (Isiah 40:29)
I ran out of energy. The emotions of the moment where simply too much for me. It drained me to a point I wanted to do nothing but sleep. I was mentally worn, so it eventually drained me physically. I couldn't walk, talk, and I wasn't even interested in listening to anything or anyone. I wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed and wish the day away. I was in North Carolina with no family, and questioning my life choices. I prayed a lot, and while the prayers came I didn't think they were coming quick enough. What I thought I missed was the constant answered prayers. Things we often take for granted. Each new day was really the answered prayer I was seeking. Another opportunity to make a difference, to be better, to live, to have a chance. The fact that I was never spiritually drained was lost on me. Another answered prayer. I was still strong enough to talk to God. Maybe I wasn't, and He simply was talking to me. In every bird that sang, every smile I was given, every laugh I heard, phone call I got, breath I was still taking. I started to feel as if I just knew as I laid down to rest, to refocus, to reengage in my journey, my fight, my moments I would be ok. Drained, but giving praise to Him carrying me, holding me up, comforting me… "But I sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." (Psalm 59:16) Understanding that while we must be physically, mentally and spiritually fit, for there are many blessings that require heavy lifting, we will never be left to lift any of it alone. That is energy enough to get up, carry on, and continue to push forward.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you know God is strength. Pray as He is always listening. He will answer in His time and in His way, and that shall always be the way.
Have a blessed day everyone.
