Don’t Let Me Lose Sight
I was praying this evening for a couple friends who are dealing with health issues. It can be a helpless feeling watching loved ones struggle but I’m so thankful we serve a God who is all-powerful. I don’t know about you but it’s easy for me to focus on the sickness, the could bes, etc. As I prayed this evening, I feel like God prompted me to pray, “Lord, don’t let me lose sight of You!” If my eyes are on Him, everything I face in life seems small. His strength increases as mine on my own would shrivel up to nothing.
I’m sure I appear to others to be strong and I admit God has given me tremendous strength in the trials He’s brought into my life but more and more the words to “The Warrior is a Child” comes back to mind and all I want to do is crawl up in my Daddy’s arms and let Him hold me. I know He’s doing that. He’ll continue to carry me when I need it but He’ll also give me the strength to stand no matter what comes my way. He’s promised to do so and He’s proven Himself over and over again. I don’t doubt Him for an instant.
If life seems to be happening faster than you can keep up with it and you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, take some time to focus on Jesus. He’s there waiting to give you the strength you need. You may feel like a child but your Daddy’s waiting with His arms open wide. He’ll get you through this trial and then you can testify of His goodness and encourage others who are going through similar situations.
