Encouragement For The Weary Woman… God is With You

December 9, 2012 By momcafe 40 Comments

Encouragement for the weary woman- God is with you.

Dear friend,

I see your fear.  I feel your pain.

I have lived in that place.

Overwhelmed.

Questioning…

How will I make it through?

You are tired. So tired.

Weary from it all.

Nothing left to give.

Empty.

 

You are faced with things you cannot do, carrying a weight too heavy for you.

You are left with the aches of your soul and the cracks in your heart.

Always another fight to conquer.  Another hill to climb.

 

And you ask, How?

How can I do this? How can I survive this? How can I endure such hard things?

 

Encouragement for the weary woman- God is with you.

Do you know you are equipped?

God will give you strength in every turn.

He opens hearts.  He heals wounds.  He ministers hope.

And brings help to the helpless.

 

Oh, my friend, please believe

God equips your every need.

 

He knows the plan

He prepares the way

He walks you through

Each trying day.

 

You may not trust

You may not see

You may not know

What is to be…

 

He’s there beside

Your faltering gait

Please know dear friend…

He holds your fate. 

 

He knew this day

The others, too

He knows your pain

He weeps with you

 

Oh, my friend

He’ll see you through

And know His Love

Can carry, too.

 

Breathe in fresh hope

Be still and know

The Great I Am

Loves you so.

***

 I know the Lord is always with me.
 I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. Psalm 16:8 NLT

      That is exactly what I intended in these words! Thank you for your confirmation, affirmation and total support… I know there are many who suffer more during this season for various reasons. I know that some wake to feel these feelings every day. My heart breaks for them. I pray this encourages them.

    We have all that we need within, don’t we? It’s remembering that sometimes that’s the hard part.

      Oh yes, remembering and trusting. Even when we don’t feel it or believe it. Trusting that He will provide all we need to survive, whatever dark path we have entered.

    I really needed this. Interestingly, you posted this on my birthday. It was a rough birthday for me because it was the eve of my twin girls first birthdays. But two days later, one of them died. And that one year anniversary was yesterday. And I appreciate you stopping by my blog and encouraging me, and I’m so glad I came back and read these words. I do believe in the power of prayer, and I can feel myself being lifted up. Thank you for reminding me WHO is always taking care of me.

      OH I am so sorry you had such a rough birthday. I can’t believe how close it is to your twins’ birthday and your tragic loss as well. Interestingly, I felt compelled to write and post this as I had such a burden to express this message. I am so glad it encouraged you Alexa. May it give you some peace to know WHO is taking care of you and your angel…

    What a beautiful and true description of the provision and love we have in our Father, especially when we are emotionally and spiritually “fatigued”. It’s the hope that God fills us with, as we trust Him, that brings any joy and peace to our souls. This comes from Romans 15:13 and has been one of many “life lines” I cling to during times of pain and suffering. Thanks for your wise and inspirational words!

      I’m so glad you shared Romans 15:13 Janet. May His word continue to fill your heart, mind and soul with love and strength and encouragement. And may His spirit continue to illuminate your path and guide your days. I love you so much, dear friend. Your faith is a true inspiration.

      Yes Holly, I agree. With heavy hearts we cling to our children, and imagine the worst… just terrifying and horrifying to even try to understand what they are going through. Thanks so much for stopping by and reading. So grateful.
