Tired and Weary

Some days it is all I can do to keep going. It seems like everything is going on without me, or too fast or just a blur. Things are changing so much, and nothing I do is good enough or right or worth doing. Sometimes days like this come back to back. Other times I could go for a month and never feel this way. Off and on for a while. One step at a time, one minute at a time, one breath at a time. One tear at a time, until my eyes let go of more and more tears.

But then I remember who made me, who holds me in His hands. This is a comfort for me. I can close my eyes, call out to Jesus and ask for a hug, for Him to hold me, and I feel His love all around, His warmth and care for me.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31

I think in today’s world, everyone feels like this to some degree. Some more, some less, but hopefully everyone will recognize that we all need help now and then. Reach out to someone you know is having problems. Ask for help if you are the one needing a helping hand. You never know who God will put in your path, just when you least expect it, He will hold out His hands and give you a hug, holding you tight.
