Reminded of His Goodness

In the midst of some recent difficult days, the Lord spoke three specific, encouraging words to my heart.

The first is that I'm not able to cope with the difficult things with my physical strength.  When hardships come, it's the inner strength that He gives me that helps me get through the outside pressures.  He empowers me from within!  He helps me not to falter when life's storms hit me.  "The power of Christ within you is greater than the pressure of troubles around you."  (anonymous)

"I pray that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man."  Ephesians 3:16

The second thing is the Lord reminding me that He cares.  He is mindful of everything I'm facing, and He cares for me.  He loves me as His precious daughter, and He's working to help me.

"Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."  1 Peter 5:7

And the third thing is that He's carrying me.  I may feel alone, but He's right with me and even carrying me when I'm weary.  I may be weak from the various circumstances I'm facing, but I can relax into His arms and let Him carry me.  So precious!

"I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."  Isaiah 46:4

I'm grateful for your encouraging messages - thank you!  And I'm grateful for the sweet reminders from the Lord!  He is so faithful.
