Do You Feel Like You're Walking Through Mud?
God can help you find the happy part of life again!
Do you ever feel like you are walking through life with heavy shoes being sucked deeper into the mud with each step?
Some of us walk through many days feeling like this.
When I was having serious health problems, I was seeing doctor after doctor searching for a diagnosis. It took five years and over thirty doctors to figure out the complicated autoimmune disease causing my symptoms.
There were many low valleys to walk through on the journey. Eventually, my path led upwards to a more promising future and outlook.
Maybe the valley you are in doesn’t have anything to do with your health. With the state of the world, there are many serious issues we are currently facing. Many are struggling with finances and wonder how they will afford basic necessities. Many are grappling with the increased level of darkness enveloping our country. Maybe you are agonizing over your faith in the midst of these uncertain times.
The Bible presents us with great news! The Lord sustains us. The word sustain means to strengthen or support physically/mentally.
Psalm 3:5 was written by David as he was running from a man who wanted to kill him (Absalom). Life-threatening danger was always surrounding David yet he was able to rest physically and mentally because the Lord sustained him.
God will strengthen and support you too. He loves you just as much as David. Whatever you are facing today, God is in control. He’s not leaving you. He is working in your life.
I encourage you to give your situation to God and take one day at a time. May you feel His peace in your heart today.
I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me. Psalm 3:5 (ESV)
