Times get tough for everyone. Sometimes you just don’t know which way to turn or what to do. Sometimes you just need to put your hands together and pray to the Lord that he will ease your burden and carry you through the choppy waters.
I read through the scripture often and more so during tough times to find the Lords words of comfort and encouragement.
We are only human. We are not invincible. We do not have the strength of God. We break. But, what we have is God. And our God can speak to us day and night. All we have to do is open the Bible. We need his word to find peace to carry us through until the storm settles and we again feel the warmth of the sun he created on our shoulders.
