I can say very very mean things when I feel violated. Like if I feel like you intentionally said something to harm/trigger me, there’s a chance I will absolutely say something we can’t come back from.
"Cranes in the Sky" is EASILY one of the best-written songs about depression/heartbreak/loss ever. Despite all of her efforts to distract herself, the pain/loss was constant.
It is wonderful to have the confidence that no matter what we need to do in life, God will strengthen us and enable us to do it. We all have weaknesses, but God’s strength is also available to all of us. I ask for God’s strength every day first thing in the morning, and sometimes more than one time a day.
It may be early in the morning and I don’t know yet what all will occur in my life that day, but I do know that I need God’s strength in order to handle it. When we merely “try” to be strong, we will always ultimately fail, but if we trust God to be strong through us, we will never run out of strength. I don’t know what you might be facing today, but I do know that God loves you and is waiting to help you. He wants to give you strength and bless you with peace!
Take a few minutes several times a day and wait on God for strength, ability, and wisdom. They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength (see Isaiah 40:31). And you can do all things through Christ who is your strength (see Philippians 4:13).
Prayer: Father, I am excited to know that I can always depend on You to give me the strength I need. Help me always remember that apart from You, I can do nothing! Amen.
