On this journey, like most journeys, there are moments of wonder and moments of wandering. Through the good days, the slow days, and the hard days, God has been teaching me to find my strength in Him and in Him alone. He is the one who will sustain me on this race and He will help me run well!
I have been praying this for you as well – my family, friends, and supporters! I hope this poem from one of my devotions encourages you. And remember, God is with you on your very own race. He will sustain you!
“I cease from all my struggling,
I rest from all the strain.
I only live to love You, Lord,
And glorify Your name.
There is no great achievement now,
No great works done for You,
But somehow in the stillness sweet,
My spirit is renewed.
When pain has overtaken me
And human strength is gone,
Emotions cloud all over me
And days and nights are long.
I look up into Your eyes
And find strength within Your smile.
You Spirit gently comforts me
And holds me through each trial.
And though my body trembles now
My spirit is at peace,
For I hold to the Master’s words
Which cause the storm to cease.
Your power stands unfailingly,
Your every promise sure.
You give me faith, You give me grace,
Sufficient to endure.
I lift my heart in praise to You
For all that You have done,
For every battle we have fought,
Each victory we’ve won!
And though my body pains me still
My spirit is at ease
For I have found the truest strength.
In You is perfect peace.”
