Losing Heart!!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Good day to you my friends. I hope you are doing well as I continue to pray for and intercede on your behalf daily.
Many today are losing heart because of the long wait. They are tired of persevering. Even now many want to give up. But the Lord is telling us today, not to lose heart. Not to grow weary in the midst of our situation.
What are you seeing in your circumstances? Are you seeing a wayward spouse in disobedience? Are you seeing a wayward spouse who walked away from his/her vows? Are you seeing a wayward spouse outright living in sin? Have you been verbally or physically abused, rejected and disrespect?
It's hard not to look at the circumstance. But today I am saying: Look to Christ by faith. Trust Him because He is Supreme, and Almighty, and our High Priest who took our place for sin and He loves us. Yes, you are experiencing a bad marriage. Your physical eyes confirm this, but by faith you call out to God whom you trust to be there for you. Our Lord intervenes and gives us the healing or provides the grace to go through it.
Luke 18:1 tells us we should always pray and not give up.
2 Corinthians 4:16 tells us we should remember that we are being renewed inwardly day by day.
Galatians 6:9 tells us that we should focus on the harvest that will come if we do not give up.
Even in the midst of this struggle, we can stay hopeful and encouraged if we keep trusting in God. The Bible is full of excellent verses to encourage us! Even when times are tough, we still have the truth that God is going to take care of us – it does not get much greater than that!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, once again we praise You and thank You for never leaving or forsaking us. For there are times when we feel exactly like Paul felt. We are tempted to lose heart. We know ourselves to be wasting away—emotionally, mentally, physically… not metaphorically, but in reality.
Broken people, broken lives, strained relationships, old hurts bearing current pain… these things are sometimes far more visible to us than anything else. We go through seasons when our troubles neither feel light nor momentary, but "too much" and always.
Father, thank You that we don't have to pretend otherwise. We thank You that You remain strong when we are weak.
Father, You are a Promise Keeper. You have never lied to us, Father, never. We can trust You in the midst of our heartaches and heartbreaks. We can trust You with our angst and anger, our fears and failures, our brokenness and our bitterness. We can trust You for things we can barely see with the eye of faith.
Send your Spirit and open the eyes of our hearts. Today and tomorrow and the next day… throughout this season… give us a fresh vision of the hope to which You have called us, the inheritance you have secured for us and the power You have given us in Jesus. Eph. 1:15-23.
Father God, many of us have long-term battles in our lives that seem hopeless. We have spent countless hours on our knees in prayer, yet the enemy's onslaught continues. We are tired and weary, our hearts are sore yet we declare, 'We shall not lose heart. We shall stand and not give up. We shall persevere because greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. We will stand Lord. Yes, we will stand and not give up.
You are so very good, Father, and so very much in control. in Jesus' merciful and mighty name. Amen.
