Cheers to Finidng Strength in God

I've been under a lot of stress lately and for some reason the stress has taken me by storm this week (started over the weekend).  This devotion popped up in my inbox today from Joel Osteen and what PERFECT timing it was.  It reminded me that I need to find my strength in God. He will get me through this and guide me with strength and wisdom.  What an awesome God he is!

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak" (Isaiah 40:29, NIV)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Oftentimes, when we are facing difficulty, it's easy to become weary in our minds and emotions.  Trying to figure it all out in our own strength can be exhausting.  But we weren't meant to figure everything out, we were meant to trust.  We were meant to call on Him and let Him be the hero of our story!  

The Bible says in Isaiah that when you cry to God for help, as soon as He hears, He will answer you! He will give you strength when you are weary and increase your power when you feel weak.  No matter what is going on in your life today, God is greater than any obstacle or difficulty you may be facing.  Do you need strength to overcome a challenge in your life? Do you need power to stand strong in the midst of a storm?  Call on Him and He will hear you.  Open your heart, and by faith, receive His strength and might.  Let Him empower you to live in victory and overcome all the days of your life!

A Prayer 

Father in heaven, thank You for hearing and answering my prayers.  Fill me with Your strength and power today.  I trust You are working things out for my good as I surrender every area of my life to You.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.
