The Lord has your back, Always!

In everything I've been through God has always been my source of strength.

I am what and who I am today because of what I went through yesterday. People often ask "where do you get the strength to just go on"? I don't "just go on"; I pray and I leave everything at His feet. I am not that strong believe me. My God does all the carrying for me. Jesus says "Come all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." It is esier said than done....but today I am telling ...you it is doable.

Jesus came to earth so you can have life, and have it more abundantly. The reality is that you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you. See, once you try to control everything around you, you stop enjoying life, you stop living. Ofcourse there are situations that you can "manage" on your own. But there are those that are just out of your control and there is nothing much you can do about ...in that particular moment.

I am reminded of a song:

If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. Refrain:

chorus

Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.


If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in Heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care;
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
