Sometimes life can be harsh.

Hard.

Relentless.

Painful.

Soul draining.

Our souls just feel dry as a desert.

Life’s circumstances weigh us down.

We feel helpless. Hopeless. Confused. Worn down.

Don’t let these feelings get you down. Feelings do not necessarily equal reality.

Do you mind if i share some refreshment for your soul? Take a moment. Take your eyes off your troubles. Take your mind off your circumstances. Focus on Jesus. Focus on His great, unfailing love, grace, mercy and peace.

Take some time to read the below. Let the words soak into your very soul. Think about what the LORD will do for you. Take off the mind of flesh – the thoughts of anxiety or fear or unforgiveness or sorrows or anger or disappointment or what have you. Instead, ask the LORD to give you the mind of Christ.

Rest in the LORD. Entirely. Surrender to our Father. Entirely. Trust in God. Entirely. At all times. In all situations. We don’t have to understand. We just have to trust.

Good night dear friends. You are loved beyond comprehension by the One True and Sovereign Lord God through His Son Jesus,

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. ²⁷ And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. ²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰ And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. ³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? – Romans 8:26-31 (ESV)
