God has had me in a season of being challenged and stretched. I was quite resistant to this...I asked Him to take away the things that have left me feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin. As I prayed, He reminded me that He will not give me more than I can handle or bear. I have been clinging to this promise a lot! When I have started to feel overwhelmed and that I can't do it, I tell myself that God has not given me more than I can handle and He reminds me that He is right here with me in each and every situation that challenges me. I am still in the middle of this season and I am certain that He has a plan and a purpose for it. I know He is molding me and making me more like Him. This season is just that, a season. I know the current challenges will not last. I may feel stressed and want to pull my hair out at times, but God is with me. He is helping me to realize more of my need and dependency upon Him. He is using the trials to draw me to Him alone. I cannot rely on my own strength or solutions to the situations.
I want to glean all I can from this season. I want to grow and be changed. I do not want to merely survive, but I want to be different and more like Him. Do I want the situations to change and improve, you bet, but in the mean time I need to lean and depend on Him to get me through each day.
Thank you God that you are with me. Thank you for sustaining me and helping me through each day. Thank you for the promise that you will never leave me nor will you give me more than I can handle. Please remind me to lean and depend on you each and every moment of each and every day...in the good times as well as the hard times. Pleas make me more and more like you. Your love and care for me amazes me!
