even the most inspired christians can, from time to time, find themselves running on empty. the demands of daily life can drain us of our strength and rob us of the joy that is rightfully ours in Christ. when we find ourselves tired, discouraged, or worse, there is a source from which we can draw the power needed to recharge our spiritual batteries. that source is God.
God intends that HIS children lead joyous lives filled with abundance and peace. but sometimes, abundance and peace seem very far away. it is then that we must turn to God for renewal, and when we do, HE will restore us if we allow HIM to do so.
today, like every other day, is literally brimming with possibilities. whether we realize it or not, God is always working in us and through us; our job is to let HIM do HIS work without undo interference. yet, we are imperfect beings who, because of our limited vision, often resist God's will. and oftentimes, because of our stubborn insistence on squeezing too many activities into a 24-hour day, we allow ourselves to become exhausted, or frustrated, or both.
are you tired or troubled? turn your heart toward God in prayer. are you weak and worried? take the time-or, more accurately, make the time-to delve deeply into God's Holy Word. are you spiritually depleted? call upon fellow believers to support you, and call upon Christ to renew your spirit and your life. are you simply overwhelmed by the demands of the day? pray for the wisdom to rest a little more and worry a little less.
when you do these things, you'll discover that the Creator of the universe stands always ready and always able to create a new sense of wonderment and joy in you. good day all of you !!!

"When I feel afraid, and think I've lost my way, still You're right there beside me. Nothing will I fear as long as You are near." by Amy Grant
