Rejoicing Always is HARD

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV

Sometimes it is hard to rejoice.  I have been able to pray continually  Clinging to God seems like the only thing I can do right now.  I can find things to thank God for because I can thank him for my loving husband and family and for the time I had with my baby, but I find it hard to rejoice.  Lord, you told me to do this.  Please help me and show me how.  I need you.

Until next time....

Joy Restored...

Psalm 51:8,12

"Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me—now let me rejoice.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. "

Lord,

As the Psalmist in this chapter, I am broken. I miss the little baby that you gave me. I ache to hold him and rock him and kiss his forehead again. I loved him so much. I don't want to go on to life as it was before. I pray that you please help me follow you, and please restore to me your joy.

Josh said tonight that he thinks Nehemiah lived as long as he did as a gift from you to comfort us. I thank you for that gift, and ask you now to comfort us and restore joy to us.

In Jesus name I pray...

Hope...

Job 11:18

"Having hope will give you courage.  You will be protected and will rest in safety." (NLT)

Lord, give me an outpouring of your hope.  I fear losing my mind as I mourn the lose of the child you gave me. Please protect me and help me rest in safety as I seek you and try to go forward with life on this cruel earth.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (HCSB)

"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me."

"Our strength may fail, but our God will not." -- Anonymous

What a comfort. I don't have to be strong. He does, and He is. He is sufficient for me. This knowledge is very comforting when I feel so tired and weak.

Thank you, LORD, for your grace that is sufficient for me.

Until next time...
