I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
I don't have to be strong enough
Strong enough
I am grateful I do not have to do life alone. I have the Lord to depend upon. I do not understand how people get through life without Him but I know there are many who do. Growing up I never realized how painful Mother's Day can be for some. I always thought it was a joyful day for all. I did not know there were some who dreaded today so bad they would stay away from people. The older I get, the more I see that hurt. My heart aches for many today and I pray they will have His strength to get through this day. I am grateful for my Momma and for the way the Lord blesses her. She has already buried two of her children and I know she aches for them. I know she aches to have the rest of us with her today but that is not possible. I also know she aches for the estranged relationships in our family. I am thankful she has the Lord's strength and will enjoy this day however the Lord sees fit. His strength is so evident in her life. Today I am praying for...
- ladies who have never been able to conceive or did and lost their baby
- those whose mother is no longer on this earth
- those who are estranged from their mother or children
- mommas who have buried their children
- those whose mother has a disease that has taken her memory and she no longer knows them
- those who were hurt by their mother
- those who deal with a mother who is addicted
- mommas who are dealing with a terminal illness with a child
I pray they will find the path of healing through the Lord. I pray they will find comfort in His Word. These Scripture are ones I like to share with those who are hurting...

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for all of the blessings of yesterday. I am tired and hurting. I need Your strength greatly in this day. I don't want to just get through it but I want to enjoy it and most of all glorify You through it. I pray today for my friend who called me last night to share her hurts with me. I hope our talk and my prayer helped her to be able to sleep. I also pray for the one who sent me a message last night. I prayer for peace over her family. Lord, there are so many hurting people in my little world. I pray they will be encouraged by You through me. Be my words, actions, attitude and focus. I pray I do not miss anything You put before me. Lord, bless me in abundance with more of You today. Thank You Jesus for being My Strength. Amen.
