My Walk With Him: We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. v8-9

I know in my heart and mind that God is with Lisa and myself but I have my worries and my moments of concerns..I am nonetheless encouraged further by Paul's words later in this chapter.

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, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. v17-18

My Prayer: Lord, You are a great God and I know You never leave me nor will You forsake me. You are with me "til the end of the age". Yet I continue to worry, and I have other sin..impatience, etc. Thank You that You love me anyway but please forgive me Jesus! Help me turn from my sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Heal her and give her peace and encouragement. Help me serve her and Zach and Lisa. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
