The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Psalms 28:6-7
I am infalliably human. Not just in my physical ailments, but in my weakness of heart. The last two days have been a trial for me, and I looked to many things for comfort: advice from friends, food, the solace of my bed, music... But to no avail. Not until I prayed did my heaviness lift and love return. Did the Lord provide an easy answer? Nope. But did he bring clarity and honesty to the situation at hand? Most definitely. After fretting it all out, when it's all said and done one of the reasons I (we) got to where we are is because we weren't looking to God for daily strength, guidance, and sustaining grace.
Lord, let my prayer be this: help me to keep my sights on you, that I may serve and love you in greater ways everyday. In this I know I will find peace, strength, and joy. Amen.
