The past two months, I’ve been trying. Trying to help the best I can with love ones. I’m trying to play peace maker with family members. I’m trying to be understanding with situations. Giving when I really don’t have it like that. Has anyone been there?
The truth is trying can be draining. There are moments when I just break down and cry, as I feel so helpless. I am doing all I know how to do and yet feel like I am hitting a brick wall. Such things like anger, frustration, guilt, sorrow all comes to my emotions.
Yet should we stay being controlled by our emotions? The word says to stand.
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm (Ephesians 6:13).
Stand therefore, having your lions with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14).
So I will yet stand…in the midst of feeling drain, in the midst of feeling angry, in the midst of feeling sorrow, I will yet stand.
So I encourage all that may find themselves in a period of trying to yet stand. As I encourage you, I encourage myself! Let’s continue to know our worth; not only as women, but as women of God as well.
