I Won’t Lose Heart
We all need inspiration. And every now and then you are so inspired YOU MUST share. That is the case today. I am truly inspired and humbled by Shelly Longenecker, friend, author, mom, cancer fighter. She created 100 Days of Biblical Affirmations to help herself during her cancer struggle and these affirmations are helping and encouraging others nationwide.
This is one of her recent posts on her 100 Days of Biblical Affirmations site…
Having a very rough stretch over here. My symptoms are extreme and difficult. Basic functions of life are challenging at this point. I am exhausted. My body is weary. My spirit is weary. I broke down today – finding myself at the end of…well, at the end of myself.
While waiting at the hospital to get the fluid drained from my abdomen, I knew I needed courage inserted into my bones. I pulled out my biblical affirmation cards – so I could bring my thinking in agreement with God’s Word and be encouraged by His truth. This one was on top.
Absolutely perfect, Lord. Thank you.
I won’t lose heart.
I’m so encouraged that God doesn’t ask us to have it all together. To be perfect. He just asks us to come to Him. And then He is faithful to carry us through the storm.
I share this with you today, in case someone here is at the end of their rope, like I am today. And, if you are, I want to encourage you to turn to Jesus. Meditate on this verse. Claim this affirmation. And be filled with the peace of God.
I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS. SO THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE. BUT TAKE HEART! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.
-JOHN 16:33
“I WON’T LOSE HEART”
We all have trials, and I don’t know what your struggle is today, but I know Who is stronger than any struggle, overcomes struggle, crushes our enemies, defeats speculations, calms our soul, gives strength to the weary, and carries us to eternal victory.
Whatever your challenges are give them to God and allow Him to carry them and carry you.
Will you pray with me for Shelly? Will you pray that cancer would be defeated?
