Weary in the Worry It may seem that you endure more than you ever thought you could or should. Know that I AM at work within you through your suffering. I AM developing perseverance in you, in order that you might run with endurance to finish the race set before you. This life is not a sprint, but a marathon. I know your troubles seem endless, but they are not. I will always provide times of rest and renewal for your soul. Though it seems like your problems are insurmountable. like a mountain you're climbing with no summit in sight, I'm steadily leading you to the top, preparing you for a revela-fion of My presence and power that will leave you in awe. There is no need to become weary and discouraged. I AM with you and will help you, giving you all the strength and grace you need. Don't give in to self-pity. Trust in My sovereignty, knowing that everything is in My control. What you're facing is not by mistake. It is divinely orchestrated, preparing you to have a more precious view of the blessings to come. Eagerly await Me. Know that I love you with an everlasting love, I draw you with loving-kindness, and sometimes it is through trials and troubles. Don't lose heart. just be embraced by Mine. Consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. HEBREWS 12:3 (NASB)
