Ever feel like just throwing in the towel and giving up?  You try and try to make things right but get to a point where you just don’t feel you have anything left to give or to do.  Life is filled with struggles, hardships and disappointments.  We can choose to either allow these moments to define us or we can choose to find our strength and overcome.  Sitting there allowing the difficult times to consume us won’t make things any better and it surely won’t change our circumstance.  Don’t allow the raging storms to defeat you.  Seek God for strength and know that not only will He be there to fill you with hope and strength, God will show you a way where you may have thought there wasn’t one.  After every storm a beautiful day always follows. Your circumstances are temporary just like those storms.

I am so thankful that we have such a loving Father that never ceases to pick our pieces when we are falling apart.  God lifts us up when we are at our weakest of moments.  He fills us with the strength and courage to keep striving for what our heart desires.  God doesn’t abandon us.  Even in our darkest of hours God shines His light all around us, filling us with hope and love.  Just because our circumstances feel unbearable right now, doesn’t mean we can’t be strong enough to surpass these trying times.  I can’t imagine going through my life not having His strength to get me through those tough times.  God loves each of us so much that even when we give up on Him, He never once has given up on us.  He patiently waits on us to come seeking Him.  I pray that whatever your situation is today, that God fills your heart and mind with strength, courage and hope.
