Give Me Strength

There are days when you feel tired and then there are days when you feel tired right down to your soul. Can you relate? The cares and demands of life can really bog us down some days and rising to the challenge of our daily agenda may seem next to impossible at times.

I have been there many days. I read a quote that said "Giving your best can look different each day." I love this because no one can bring their "A game" EVERY day and some days the fact that we even showed up should be considered a success.

It is so easy to beat ourselves up for an "off" day, or a day that we are not quite ourselves but those days are normal. We are only human after all. Give yourself grace and know that even the most productive people have off days too.

The good news is as Christians we serve a Saviour who specializes in giving strength to the weak. In Matthew 11:28 it says: "Come to me all who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest."  I cannot tell you how many times I have sent out an SOS prayer to Jesus saying "Cover me. I'm going in and I am so tired. I can't do this alone. I need to operate in your strength today dear God."  

He empowers me each time I pray and I feel so reassured knowing that my God and I are "doing life" together. No one was made to "do life" alone. We need each other, but mostly we need a Saviour. 

He comes through for me every time and we face the day together. I cannot tell you what a difference that has made in my life. He wants to do the same for you. He wants to take you from a position of powerlessness to empowered through Him. Will you invite Him to do this in your life?

Tuck that in your heart today ❤️and repeat this prayer below if you would like to become a follower of Jesus.

Dear Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that you are God and are able to forgive me of my sins. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and become my personal saviour. Come into my heart and change me into the person I am meant to be. Help me to live for you from this day forward. 

Amen
​
Sending you a virtual hug,
Dana
