“It’s okay to not be okay.  This is a safe place.  Don’t be afraid.  Don’t be ashamed.  There’s still hope here.”  Plumb could not have said it any better in her song, “Exhale”.  Every time I hear this song I am reminded to just BREATH in and let it all go.  Everything WILL be okay.  When the day is just so overwhelming and it gets difficult to just breath, let God take over.  Let God wrap you in His love and bring you comfort in knowing He will handle it all.  Don’t hold in the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.  By drawing closer to God and inhaling the courage He gives us we can overcome even the worse of days.  I don’t know about you, but I get tired of trying to handle everything myself.  I’m tired of not seeing results from doing things my way.  I’m exhausted in trusting someone else with my happiness.  God loves us so much He wants us to surrender it all to Him and trust Him to bring us answers and results.  Inhale God’s mercy and strength and exhale those feelings of fear and hopelessness.  As you exhale and surrender it all to God, you will find the peace and comfort that only God’s love can give to you.  I pray you have a blessed day today and whatever is weighing you down today, whatever is making it so difficult to just breath, let it all go and just exhale.  Everything will be better than just okay when God takes over.
