Be Strong
Posted on April 17th, 2009 3 commentsBe strong when you are not feeling strong!
How can do that? Is it mind over weakness? Is it in a pill? Is it genetic determination?
I thought about that just today. I reflected on the struggles I am having dealing with caregiving issues, life changes, and let’s not forget economic changes. Yet, I just cannot hang around and think or be fearful. I tell myself, “I just don’t have time for a nervous breakdown”. Yet, when the stressors in lifeĀ grab hold of your neck-you will be choked.
How do you be strong.
Personally, my faith and trust in God and all he provides sustains and bails me out each time. Today I spoke to a speaker buddy I had not spoken to in almost 7 years. We shared as if we had seen each other last week. Yet, we felt comfortable enough with each other to close our sharing with prayer.
Guess what, I felt stronger!
What am I saying?
The only way I know to be strong is to aknowledge my weakness and ask for help. Not sure what that will mean for anyone reading this but for me it means prayer and sharing with others who care enough to listen.

Like you, I depend on God to keep me strong. Prayer is the vessel I use to keep in touch with Him. It works because the Bible says it isn’t wise for us to lean on our own understanding. (And I have been wrong about so many things.) If we are willing to trust God, though, our path will be shown to us. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

So true ladies! Of late, have had that ‘gut-feeling’ of something nasty hanging about….it’s that same ‘feeling’, which can so easily, bring me down like a ’sack of potatoes’, so found myself deep in bible-study & prayer!
I read in a book just the other day, how this is also the same as putting out ‘bad-vibes’ or energy,allowing us to become weak!
You can always tell Satan: “Build a bridge, & get over it! All’s fine, with the Lord & us!” lol
