Strength

Seriously, I could use some super powers right about now..
I am constantly feeling overwhelmed. I have so much on my plate: work, school, relationships. I dont know if i can handle it all and then to top it off this christianity thing is really hard somestimes. being the bigger person, forgiving my enemies, resisting temptations.. Im not strong enough for this.. I wish life was easier.

What G-d says

ISAIAH 40:31 - But those who hope in the L-RD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

PHILIPPIANS 4:13 - I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

PSALMS 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.


I can think of  million scenerios that I wouldn't wanna be in: Calculus class, employee reviews, a cage with a hungry tiger, having dinner with my ex's..( I'd take the tiger before the ex's dinner in a heartbeat) But its nice to know that if I were ever in situation that was beyond my power that Jesus would step in and take control. Maybe you can just about anything that life throw your way or maybe just getting out of bed is a challenge, either way G-d is there to be your strength. Being a human automatically means we have weaknesses, there's gonna be times when we have task greater than our ability. But this doesn't mean we have to feel discouraged, because these are the exact moments that G-d works best. He's great at doing the impossible.. its kinda His specialty. When you get to that point when your about to give up, better yet BEFORE you get to that point ask G-d to give you strength, than relax, fully trusting that through Him you cn handle any situation that comes your way.
Forgiving that girl who stole your boyfriend - Done.
Passing a test you didn't reaaaally study for - Done.
Impressing the boss in a hard job interview - Done.
You name it and G-d will help you handle it! Isn't it nice to have access to such POWER?
