Falling into Grace

Sometimes I fall apart. Sometimes I break down. Life is so different lately, COVID has literally changed everything. Nothing feels the same anymore, at least not to me. Then when I thought just maybe things would start getting better, things got even worse. There is a deep pain in my heart that at times feels unbearable. If one only knew how much this is hurting me. But I know you understand, because I know you feel it often too. The thing is, in this fallen world there is difficulty after difficulty, heartache after heartache. That pain that feels overwhelming, that situation that looks hopeless, what is weighing you down day after day… give it to the Lord. He can and He will sustain you (and me). God continues to show me that this pain has a purpose. As I open His word and worship Him through the tears, freedom comes. Strength that can’t even be explained begins to lift me up off the ground once again. His love is a love that no one can take away. His love is never ending and every vow He made to us will come true. He will not fail me. He will not fail you. He is able friend. He is able to remove the dark clouds, He is able to calm every storm, He is able to carry us through. It’s ok to fall apart and to fall into the arms of grace. To collapse on the floor of His unfailing love. He is for us, He is never against us. Keep going sweet friend.

Lord, Thank You that I can bring every broken piece to You. Every weight, everything that’s hurting me inside, even what I don’t understand, You promise to take all of it and to use it for my good. You promise to carry my burdens when I surrender them to You. I surrender all of it Lord, by faith into Your holy hands. Even now, You are making something beautiful out of this. You are making something beautiful out of me. Help me to trust You when everything falls apart or when depression begins to lie once again. Give me faith where I am faithless Lord, and help me to keep my eyes on You alone. Thank You for reminding me once again of my great need for You. Have Your way in my life and be glorified, even in this. In Jesus name, Amen.
