Please Do Not Lose Heart...

August 02 2006

Wow...

So yesterday I described as rough because work was kinda stressful and I was dealing with stuff concerning friends and family. I guess it wasn't a horrible day, but it was sort of draining for me.

And then today... I don't know. I mean, today was perfectly fine for me, but I keep hearing story after story... reading entry after entry on here... and it seems as if everyone else's worlds have drastically changed in the past few days. A lot of changes are happening, and I cannot help but wonder, What is going on???

Don't lose heart my friends...

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. -2 Corinthians 4:15-18

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the
glory that will be revealed in us.
-Romans 8:18

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. -1 Peter 5:6

Whether you turn to the right or to the left , your ears will hear a voice
behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." -Isaiah 30:21

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understading no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they willl walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:28-31

Do not be afraid, for I am with you. -Isaiah 43:5a

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
-Jeremiah 29:13

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do noy know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. -Romans 8:26

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. -Ephesians 6:10

Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." -Exodus 14a, 15

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials for many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. -James 1:2-4

"If there is no strain, there will be no stength." -Oswald Chambers

"If God has given you a silence, then praise Him - He is bringing you into the mainstream of His purposes." -Oswald Chambers

"I belive in God even when He is silent." -Joseph Leftwich

I'm praying for you - all of you that may be going through something rough... know that I am praying that God will take that and turn into something beautiful for His glory, something that will make you grow stronger in Him, that you may be "mature and complete, not lacking anything". I love each one of you.
