We all have struggles, and everyone’s struggles are just as hard to them. No comparison is needed.
Our struggles, no matter how great or small they may seem to someone looking through the glass window we invite people to peek through, judge us through, and use to decide who, what, or when they may offer a helping hand, are still traumatic to the person experiencing them.
I have more on my plate right now than I can handle.
My cup is overflowing—and not in a good way.
I am tired of the relentless struggle.
I am tired of asking and begging for help.
And honestly, I don’t want to become the person people dread talking to or seeing because they fear I’m going to ask something of them.
Our struggles give us a choice.
We can do whatever means necessary to try to overcome them and get out from under the pressure ourselves, or we can practice our faith, be patient, and wait on God’s timing.
The choice is ours to hold.
I pray and I pray some more.
I am trying really hard to wait on God’s timing and trust that He will bring us through.
His Word tells us:
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” — Psalm 119:105
A lamp at our feet means we don't get to see the whole road ahead of us.
We get to see one step at a time.
And maybe that is exactly how God intended it.
Because if we could see everything that lies ahead of us—every battle, every obstacle, every painful moment, and everything it will take to walk through it—we might become overwhelmed before we ever took the first step.
Sometimes, in our exhaustion, we start thinking,
“I can do this instead. I can make this happen faster. I can fix this myself and make this struggle go away.”
But when we do that without first seeking God, we are relying on our own flesh, our own understanding, and our own plans instead of trusting Him.
And sometimes afterward, we feel conflicted.
We feel uneasy. We wonder if we made the right decision.
That feeling doesn't always mean we've done something wrong, but it should cause us to stop and ask:
“God, am I still following You, or did I get ahead of You?”
We don't always understand what God is doing.
We don't always understand why He allows us to walk through certain struggles.
And sometimes all we can do is take the next step with the little bit of light He has given us.
So ....
Don't run ahead of God.
Don't give up because you can't see the whole path.
Don't let the weight of today convince you that there is no tomorrow.
Just take the next step.
One step.
Then another.
And another.
Follow the light of the lamp at your feet.
Trust God with what you cannot see.
Because His plans are greater than ours, His timing is better than ours, and He is still God—even in the middle of the struggle.
So today, I will take the next step.
And I will trust Him with the rest.
If you can help someone today who is struggling please help them and if all you can offer is prayer then pray for them.
Prayer is helping and caring too.
I know helping someone isn't always easy but if I can I can help..I will .. and if all I can do is pray ..then I will pray.
Have a blessed day
