This was/is me. I cried during my quiet time this morning. I cried after church this morning. I cried to Him because only He knows the depths of my despair, my defeat, and weariness. Only He knows how I vacilate each day in my faith to be the best I can be but fall short because I am human. I am flesh. I am sinful in thought, deed and just being. Satan snips at my heels constantly and I am weary from fighting him off. I feel so alone yet I know I'm not. He is with me walking every step, even carrying me when I'm too weary to take another step. My burdens are many, heavy and not mine to carry yet I do until I get to the point of surrender and I let them go. I walk away free and unencumbered for a brief moment before I run back and snatch them back up again. SIGH!!! Why, why, why? Thank you for sharing this space with us.

Oh lovely, I do it too! Lay them down and snatch them back. Thing is He knows us… He knows we’re gonna do it until we one day just don’t pick it back up. ❤️❤️❤️

This was what I needed to hear today. Thank you for sharing it with us. I have been weak and tired trying to get through the post surgery phase of my. The pain is difficult and regaining strength is hard. I know that God is with me and will see me through this journey. This too shall pass.

I am facing a nightmarish situation. It will take months to sort out. I wake up panicking through the night . I cant take anymore. Im frightened I get more ill.

Oh lovely, I’m praying that the hold of fear breaks and peace comes in like a gentle wave—steady, kind, and just enough for today. You’re not alone in this. I’m holding you in prayer and trusting God is holding you even tighter.

Thank you for sharing and allowing yourself to be vulnerable in this space with us, Sarah 💞

I love that about our Heavenly Father .... His tender mercies, compassion & love that reaches far beyond what we could imagine .... into the deepest, darkest, loneliest places. He has many names and one of my favorites is "El Roi", translated in Hebrew meaning "the God Who sees me". This is in reference to Genesis 16:13, but reading the entire chapter gives a fuller understanding of how He SEES and reaches out to the hurting, outcast, lonely Hagar, Sarai's maid.

I can relate to this .... finding myself in situations I didn't ask for or create. Feeling lost, broken, forgotten, and desperate. Yet, I can look back over the years and see God there .... my El Roi .... loving me and blessing me through it all 😌💖

He SEES YOU & He is there .... ❤️❤️❤️

God bless you, wherever you are 🙏😌🥰
