I have not reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. Philippians 3: 12 CEV

Sometimes it’s hard to find needed strength. We become frustrated when doubt steals our joy. But God helps us recognize our frailties. He reminds us why we need the Savior! He helps us face the truth, when we humbly examine our hearts…

As we begin to recognize why we need Him, Jesus helps us find perfect peace. He carries our burdens and provides everything we need. He removes what is holding us back from trusting God. And He gives us strength to endure. He shows how to remain faithful. 

God covers our wounds of weakness and strengthens us with His power of love. And when we need to be reminded, He helps us remember we never walk alone. He demonstrates the power of His holiness and helps us keep on going... 

Strength will come if we trust in the guiding of God’s will and allow Jesus to take hold of our hearts. He will guide us on a path of purpose. Surely we will be blessed, if we put our HOPE in Him and choose to faithfully PRESS ON... 

Dear God, Thank you for arming us with everything we need to step ahead and trust in You. Forgive us when doubt tries to steal our hearts of wholeness. We will love You all of our days and patiently wait to be blessed. And we will never forget You really DO have a plan for our lives. Amen
