Life goes on

My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Psalm 73:26
Some days in the stresses of life it is hard to take a step. I feel like saying just forget it I don't want to do today. My faith is far away and I have an even harder time feeling my Savior near me. My hope for things in the future has turned into hopelessness.
Thank you God that I don't have to live in my own strength. I can draw a sigh as I live life down here on earth, and you hear that sigh and place your hand on me in order to give me your energy where I have none.
Thank you also that when I am dwelling in to much of my feelings, you remind me that the sadness and hopelessness that is within me is not from you. They are from my enemy trying to defeat me, to bring me down to where I think I can't go on.
I remember then that you have already defeated him, and that my heart and soul belong to you alone, and he can't have me.
You are the author of my life, and you know every single thing I am going through, and nothing that I am feeling is surprising to you. You wait, you love, you reach for my hand, and pull me up into your loving arms and tell me to keep going.

....I will rise when He calls my name no more sorrow no more pain...
