How many times have I lost my sure footing on the path set before me and found myself tempted to grab onto sin to steady me? In the end, I always find myself trapped underneath the weight of my sin.
Sweet friends, as we long for relief, the ache within our soul is difficult to endure. I pray our weary souls would rest in Christ, knowing His right hand is upholding us. (Psalm 63:8) May we endure treacherous paths with hope as we look up from bent and battered knees and say, “I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope” (Psalm 130:5, ESV).
Oh Lord, I am weak. I am weary. Help me remember from where my hope truly comes. By Your grace, keep me from misplacing my faith in worldly things for support. Strengthen me to endure hardship with confidence, knowing every promise You made will come true. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
