When Life Leaves You Battle Worn
For the heart that is weary, God is your strength.
For the soul that is aching, God is your comfort.
For the spirit that is failing, God is your hope.
The Maker of heaven and earth holds you securely in the hollow of His hand and close to His heart. Turn your gaze upwards; you are not alone. Your Heavenly Father is with you. Even when the mountains crumble and the earth shakes violently below you, He will preserve and protect you. Entrust the cares of this world to God’s all-wise, all-loving care.
He is the Lord, the Most High God who reigns over all. He’s Abba Father when we need fathering. He is All-sufficient in our hardest situations and the Author of faith in our unbelief and doubt. He’s Broken and spilled out for us when we feel used. He’s our Sure foundation when we’re shaking and insecure and Fullness when we’re empty. He’s the God of love when we feel unloved and need a hug. He is God with us when we feel alone or abandoned and He’s our Guide and the Way when we’re confused and need direction.
He is Healer for our woundedness, rejection, and physical sickness. He’s our Hope when we’re discouraged and want to quit and our Joy when we’re depressed. He’s our Keeper and Protector when we’re vulnerable and the Lifter of our head when we’re feeling oppressed. He’s never failing when we’re faithless. He’s the Prince of Peace when we’re stressed, worried and confused, and our Provider for every need. He’s the Quieter of the storm for our struggles without and within and our Rest when we’re tired and can’t go on. He’s the restorer of our soul when we’re bruised and beaten down, our Reviver and Living Water when we are depleted, barren and thirsty. He is our Song and our Praise when we’re joyless and heavy of heart and Strong when we’re weak. He is Truth in spite of what the world says and our Vindicator when we’ve been wronged. He’s the Waymaker when it seems impossible and Wisdom for our hardest choices.
He is my keeper, therefore, I am eternally secure, eternally loved, eternally assured.
Lord, I will run to none other than You. I will rest in You, and rejoice in knowing You are my good, good, Father; my Almighty God.
Selah.
amen, He is my everything sweet sis.
He is my manna for each day. Provider of what I need for that moment. Love you, Denise.
Thank you so much for the encouragement, Marsha. I am thankful that God is always there with and for me.
