“Humble yourselves therefore under God’s mighty hand that He may lift you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:6-7
Because of the circumstances and uncertainties, we are facing, sometimes we come to a point wherein we are consumed with our patience and endurance and our weaknesses prevail. Kaya minsan, when I feel that I can’t pray wholeheartedly nagi-guilty ako, kasi nandoon yung worry at doubt. However, it is during this time that I am reminded that He is the source of my strength to fight all the negative emotions and weaknesses to fight temptations when I am weak. He gives me peace when I am anxious. He is my source of hope and joy. So in all circumstances whether good or bad, I will continue to lift them to the Lord who is in control of everything.
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father, in this time of need, strengthen me. You are my strength and my shield, my refuge, a very present help in trouble. I ask you to strengthen those whose hearts long for You. The body grows weary but my hope is in you to renew my strength. I am not dismayed or overwhelmed for you are my God. I know You will strengthen and help me, that You uphold me with your righteous hand. Even as the shadows of illness cover me, I feel the comfort of Your strength! Amen
