It's been a while since I posted anything besides updates about Dylan's surgery. There have been a lot of verses that have popped up during our stay here. This is one I think we should all take a little extra time to dive into. It is SO easy to get feeling down when things aren't going well, when challenges & circumstances continue to pile up and it feels like we get knocked down again and again.
Of course it is always easier said than done, but if we can try to keep this verse in mind it may give us a breath that we need to reset our gaze on Him and remember that He is with us. That God has a plan, and though we will never fully understand it all, things happen for a reason.
A while back a lifelong friend sent me a meme that said something along the lines of, the devil doesn't come after those he already has. Meaning he (the devil) wants us to cave, wants us to think God has abandoned us. So if you are going through tough times, and feel like you can't catch a break, maybe try thinking of it as the devil feeling threatened that he's not going to get you.
Do your best to focus on God and his promises, trust that He has things under control. Try not to carry too much, we are only human, and even though grasping for control is so incredibly easy to do, it never really works out that well. That's one area I definitely have a hard time with at times. I LOVE to feel like I'm in control, even though in the back of my mind I know I truly am not.
We have received so many prayers lately I'd love to pray for you. If there is something weighing heavy on your heart feel free to PM if you'd like to chat, or just leave a heart in the comments. 💞
