For anyone going through a rough time...

“When the tears keep pouring down, and my lips can’t make a sound, I know YOU hear my prayer.”

I have been in this place with Jesus many times in my life. I know He’s there, and I know He hears the prayers from my heart, but sometimes the only word that flows from my lips is “Jesus” over, and over again. His name is the only thing that brings me a peace inside, and His arms of faith pulls me back to Him.

I Know a lot of us have been in this place, where our hearts get weak, and hope just seems to slip away.

I went to visit my dad in the hospital, and what I saw set my mind restless on what I was seeing, not on “the things which are above," (Colossians 3: 1). I have written devotionals on, hope, faith, and to trust in the Lord. I talk to people all the time about keeping their faith and trust in the Lord, but when it hits you personally, you realize just how human you are, and you are reminded of where your only source of strength comes from. I also thank God for all my brothers and sisters in Christ who remind me of Gods promises when I can’t seem to think straight.

I know to look to Christ for my strength , but when you are watching a loved one struggle with health issues in the hospital, and no one seems to have answers, your soul can feel so afraid, and your mind begins to run away with thoughts that carry you far away from Christ side, who is your ONLY source of strength. I thank God for all the doctors and nurses, but no one comforts your soul but Jesus.

1 Corinthians 2:3: “I came to You in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.” 

2 Corinthians 12:9: But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

There is nothing I want more for all my family, especially my mom, at this time of waiting on answers for my dad, and for what Gods plan is, than for Christ power to rest on all of us. God is in control of it all anyway.

Please pray, thank you
