"But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not grow faint."
Isaiah 40:31
God loves us. God wants the best for us. It's kind of hard to believe this when it seems life keeps knocking you down. But God promises that those who trust in Him will find the strength to overcome life's difficulties.
I could not have survived through some really tough times - some deeply traumatizing and hopeless experiences - without God's sustaining strength. He has never once left my side. Even at times when I did not feel His presence, He was there right beside me. He opened doors that were boarded tightly shut. He gave me hope when there was none in sight. He gave me a strength that I never dreamed existed within me.
Trusting God in the midst of pain, suffering, hopelessness, and loss is extremely difficult for us to do. Naturally, our own pain and suffering can cloud our hearts. We can get lost in our own emotions. And though healthy emotional responses are a way to cope with difficulties, unchecked emotions can take us down a dark path. We must remember that we do not have to face difficulties alone. ...Those who trust in the Lord will find NEW STRENGTH!
And those things that were meant to cause harm and hurt, have actually brought about good. I now have a ever increasing joy that comes from a deepening trust in Christ. In Him I have the strength to do all things. So if you are facing difficulties, there is hope! Look to God. He will give you new strength!
Peace and blessings.
