trials. #tbt

a old entry in my prayer journal that might be encouraging to you..



God,

help me to stay strong in this time.
help me not to fall, give up, and drown, which can be so easy and tempting to do.
help me to stay joyful and to praise You in all things, even when i'm sad and cant lift my head.
I'm silent, but my heart is crying.
But through these tears You will be lifted up.
You will be praised.
You will be my hope.
When it seems i have none.
And You will be my joy, and the light of my soul.
The Song in my heart.
In the shadows,
In the darkness,
when the storm rolls,
and the pain hits,
You are constant, ever present, my all in all.
I wont always understand why i am going through this,
but in the end, i will have new lessons learned,
and the peace that PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.
Its really hard some days...
I cry.
I feel lonely and sad.
But I must never give up.
Never back down.
NEVER stop fighting.
Because that's exactly what the devil wants me to do.
And You alone are worth the fight,
You`re worth every tear, every sad day, every time i feel alone.
Because in the end I will say:

"I have fought the good fight. I`ve finished the race. And i've kept the faith."

okay so here's some quotes I've been loving lately!


"We live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire, next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don't believe in miracles?"

"Courage, dear heart."

"She pulled back her hair, set her sights on God and vowed to finish her race in victory."

"He'd wasted most of his life, thinking he wasted most of his life."

"The rest of the world was in black and white, but we were in screaming color." (just found out this is a Taylor Swift quote... no I don't support her or like her, but I do like this quote.)

"Compliment people. Magnify their strengths, not their weaknesses."

"What would you attempt to do if you knew that you could not fail?"

"Trust that when the answer is no, there is a better yes down the road." C.S. Lewis

"Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen."

"Live in such a way that if anyone should speak bad of you, no one would believe it."

XOXO
