I have been through some things in my life that have caused me to loose heart, to think that I was not going to make it. To want to give up and just turn around and walk away from God or the path that I was walking on. I felt all alone in my situation and felt that no one new what I was going through and I had no one to turn to.
Four years ago my husband of 30 years decided that he did not want to be married anymore and left me and filed for a divorce. I was so hurt, embarrassed and ashamed that he had left me I did not know where to turn. I was raised in church and I knew what the bible said about marriage and divorce. Marriage was supposed to be till death do us part. Therefore I was very confused because I had been praying for God to renew my marriage thinking this could not be from God, God's word says that He hates divorce.
Although I knew God and what His word said that He would never leave me nor forsake me (Hebrews 13:5), I still felt so alone and confused. and began to doubt His word. But God is so faithful and merciful that He saw me through every dark and lonely place that I seemed to be in at that time in my life. I struggled with my faith and my salvation, but knew that I had to keep my eyes on the Lord because He was the only way I was going to make it through. I stumbled and fell several times but thank God He was there to always pick me up and encourage me to keep going.
In Galatians 6:9 it says And let us not grow weary while doing good , for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
I encourage you today to keep your head up and look to God because no matter what you are going through or how dark the situation may seem God has a plan for your life a plan to prosper you and not to harm you plans for your future. You may not see the whole picture but God does keep your eyes on Him and don't grow weary.
Sincerely
Tina
