I am…. He IS….
To Do:
- Wash clothes, clean dishes, mop kitchen, take daughter to the doctors for her unexplained sickness…
- Grade homework, write advertisements for ministry, call so-and-so…
- Teach AWANA, exercise, pray for the little baby at church who is having heart surgery…
Lord,
I am so overwhelmed by it all.
I am afraid that I’m doing the best job I could do.
I am stressed.
I am nervous about my daughter’s health.
I am unsure of myself and my ability to do all that You’ve put on my plate.
I….. need YOU!
As I breathe out this simple prayer, I know that you’ve prayed the same kind of prayer yourself many times. I open up my heart before God and tell Him how I’m feeling and how weak I am. And He…. He’s not surprised by who I am.
He knows me inside and out and He knows the remedy for who I am and how I’m feeling. He reminds me of who He is and I turn my prayer around:
He is… the God who is ABLE to do ANYTHING and who strenghtens me so I can do everything He asks of me.
He is…all-powerful.
He is….all-loving.
He is….my counselor, my healer, my redeemer, my hope.
He is….in control.
He is…All that I need.
It’s amazing how these few words can change the way I view my day. My thoughts turn around, off of me and my inabilities and onto Him and His ability. My problems and responsibilities don’t seem so overwhelming when my eyes are on Him.
Beautiful my friend, love you.
AMEN. Somehow when we take our eyes off of our problems and set our sight on Him – everything seems to be ok. “What is impossible with man is possible with God!” -Blessings, Laurie
Thank you for this reminder. Focusing on our strength – Christ alone – the author and perfector of life – can help us get through any to-do list. I’m going to set my list aside right now and spend time in His Word. Thank you.
If you take a look at my post from today you’ll see that I needed that. Thankyou so much for sharing. I’ll be praying for your daughter and your family.
God Bless
This is a great reminder and comfort to know God is there.
Amen, Heather. I sure needed this. Love you.
Thank you for your transparency. We all have those overwhelming moments; thank you for sharing your sweet prayer. You and your daughter will be in my prayers.
Amen! Thank you for this encouraging post.
