God is always on our side

I was tired, but the Lord stood at my side.

I had sinned, but the Lord stood at my side. 

I was unworthy, but the Lord stood at my side.

Broken.

Beaten. 

Overwhelmed.

Overcome.

But the Lord stood at my side.

There is nothing that can separate us from God.

Nothing that is too much for Him to bear. 

God wants to take our anxiety, our fears, our distress.

But we refuse to give it to Him.

We want to fix it.

We want to be in charge. 

We want to prove we don't need anyone.

That we got his.

And sometimes we just want to clean ourselves up before we go to Him.

Wipe off our faces.

Smooth our clothes.

Brush our hair.

We don't want God to see us like this.

Dirty.

Disgusting.

Disheveled.

But we forget that God already sees us.

He already knows.

And He already willingly paid the price with the Blood of His Son.

No matter what we're facing.

What enemy is against us.

What demon is tormenting us.

God is right there. 

By our side.

Wanting us to trust Him. 

Wanting to give us His strength.

We can't do this life alone.

No one can. 

God is waiting. 

What are we waiting for?

don't give up

don't give up.
though you're tired of fighting,
tired of falling down,
tired of wondering why life has to be so hard,
don't do it.
don't throw in the towel.
don't surrender to the struggle.

don't let what you think is the worst moment of your life,
become the last moment of your life.

refuse to let today defeat you.
refuse to let today define you.

refuse to let what the world says about you be the only thing you hear. 

don't let the pain be the only thing you see.

today you are alive.
today you are breathing.
today you may be hanging on by a thread,
but you're still hanging on.

that is not an accident.
that is not a coincidence.
that is not by chance.

God has you.

He's got you.
He's not letting go.

so hold on.

hold on tight.
and keep your eyes on Him.

because you may be in for the fight of your life...
but you are not in the fight alone. 



"For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do. But our eyes are on You." 2 Chronicles 20:12
