ever had just one of those days???

i know we all have. no one of us is exempt from those days filled with just sheer exhaustion, discouragement, failure after failure after failure, and just yea...you get the picture :)

but as Christians, and followers of Jesus, we ain't gettin away with giving into despair. OH no! We are called to something greater, something higher.
In those moments, we are called to throw ourselves upon our loving Father...

at least that's the general idea ;)

Why oh why isn't it that easy though?! Why do I consistently find myself in those "Slough of Despond" or those "Depths of Despair" as Christian  did in The Dangerous Journey? I could scream I get so frustrated with myself. It's like I get into those moments where I can't see anything except my imperfections before my Holy God. Yes, in those times, I am painfully aware that all my works truly are as filthy rags before Him.

But oh friends! Rejoice and be glad!! For the story doesn't end there!!

We have a Great High Priest who is able to sympathize with us in our weaknesses! How He longs to comfort us, to wrap us in His arms, and whisper in our doubtful ears, "It's okay my sweet child. I'm here. You're gonna be fine. You're gonna make it through this. I'm here. I'm holding you. I'm carrying you. Shhh....be still."

Be still.

Be still.

Be still.

Friends, even in those moments. On those kinds of days. When hot tears sting your eyes, your heart beats fast because you're just so fed up, and your spirit is sad and discouraged...be still. And know that He is God. The almighty God who loves and cares for you more than you will ever know.

Resting in that truth, surrendering myself to him, i can get up one more time, but this time it's different. This time, somehow, I know that everything is gonna be alright.
Because He is near.

p.s. OH my GOSH!!! So I literally was going to click "Publish post" and the song, Be Still My Soul started playing on my computer!! Wow!

p.s.s Libby is cancer free!!! Thank you for all your prayers!!
