Reading this today, laying in the bed sick for the second weekend in a row, this time with a fever, I am filled gratitude for our Great God. How easy it is for me to fear and get discouraged at times like this. When sickness seems to grow tasks into mountains and waves of worry about all of the upcoming daily things that need to be done, He is strong! Valentine's weekend with my sweet new husband and I have a fever and aches...friends, I have been bombarded by discouragement today.
But, maybe I needed to rest. Maybe God is calling me to slow down and acknowledge again that He is in control, is above all, created all. He knows me... my weaknesses, my worries, and my current discouragement. It's so easy to worry the days away when our bodies are unwell, isn't it? Our minds seem to run rampant with thoughts of "Why didn't I go ahead and get this or that done?" or "When I am I going to have time to do that?"...
Lord, I pray that today you will continue to show me to look to You and your strength and to forgive myself for not having everything done just "perfectly". Free me from the worries of what needs to be done in the day to day of the coming week. Help me to rest today and lean on the "greatness of [Your] might".
