I woke up this morning with a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders. I have been carrying around this heaviness for a few weeks and it has just seemed to all be too much. I have spent the past week at the feet of Jesus and crying out for renewal, strength and comfort. Life can get so overwhelming and as a christian I sometimes get distracted by the weight of the world and those impossible standards.
I have felt him answer so many of my prayers this past week or so. All in his timing and to be honest I wished they would have come sooner but like my last post; there is something in the waiting....
I have done this study before by Angela Thomas but I felt it is one that I need to do again.
In one of the sessions it talks about how we have all cried out to God asking, " Do you know that I am worn out?" This is what she wrote in response to that cry....
"Do you know that I AM your God who does not grow weary? My worn-out daughter, lift up your eyes to the hills and see that your help comes from Me, the One who made you. I AM the Maker of heaven and earth. I AM He, the One who will not let your foot slip. I will watch over you, and I will not slumber while you sleep. No, I will neither slumber nor sleep whether you wake or sleep.
I will refresh your tired body, and I will restore your tired soul. Come and wait for Me so that I can give you fresh strength. I want you to run and not become weary, walk and not be faint.
Follow the model of My Son, Jesus. Learn to take time for your soul. Wear His yoke, not this world's. Keep a Sabbath day to refresh your body, spirit and soul.
You are my brave beloved, and I AM your God who does not grow weary." - Angela Thomas Brave
What a powerful reminder of who God is to His children. It is just what I needed to hear! Take the time to refresh my soul. If you have not checked any of her books you should! Another good one is Do you know who I AM? By far my favorite! Enjoy!
