Are you weary?

Lately I have been a bit tired. Not tired as in I am not sleeping well. I sleep fine most of the time. I have been tired as in, weary. Have you ever felt weary? The definition of the word weary is to be without strength or endurance. Now, you may be thinking that the reason I feel weary is because I have 3 little boys and I am a stay at home mom who is going to school online and also have commitments to my church and of course have to keep up with family, friends and write this blog..blah blah blah. yep, one should assume that this is why I am weary. But I think that even though I may be a bit over committed in some areas, my weariness at this moment comes from the burden of my finances. Now, without revealing to you all of my business..I will let you know that there are times that I wonder how we'll make it. and there's been times when we've had to call on family for help. But you know what I started to realize today as I sat in front of this computer screen stressing over where the money would come from? I realized that I forgot who I needed to go to first for answers. Duh! why didnt I think of this a month ago when we ran out of money? now, I do not mean that if I ask for money, He will put money in my hands. but why do I think I can handle every little thing on my own? Why don't i ever realize that I should go to God BEFORE I get weary? so, I took my Bible, and I went to a room in this house where no one would come (my bathroom) and I sat on the floor and I prayed. And I opened my Bible. something told me to head over to the book of Isaiah. and I turned to 40:29-31 "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." So, I begged for strength from the only One who can give me strength. I will conquer this weariness, my strength shall be renewed. And you know what?? I WILL REJOICE!!!! I am a believer in Christ and the way I choose to handle my struggles sets me apart from unbelievers. Enduring these struggles does not grant me salvation. My salvation that I already have is what gets me through the struggles.
