I Am Strong


"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord..." Psalm 121:1-2

Are you strong enough to carry the world on your shoulders? I didn't think so. Do you keep a brave face to the world and fall apart when no one was looking? As women, we often think that we can be all things to all people but one day you will wake up and your strength will be depleted. Have you given so much that you have nothing left for yourself? What then? Will you be vulnerable enough to ask for help? Humble enough to admit your weakness. Confident enough to accept help? Scripture tells us "Our Help Comes From the Lord." If you feel you have nothing left to give, go to a quiet place and breathe in the sweet essence of God's Presence. There is strength for the weary as you enter in the Secret Place of the Most High and from that vantage point you will see the Lord's hand securing, increasing and enlarging every portion of your life.

Great Word Jo, cause I feel like that now - depleted and I'm praying for God to strengthen me so that I can continue to be an encouragement. He has a very unique way of doing spiritual surgery inside our hearts to give us that extra "umph" to keep going! Praises to Jesus!

"Spiritual Surgery" I like that! The enemy is purposed to keep you depleted, then you are in his territory! Be very good to yourself.
