I Can't Stand It

I Can't Stand It:

7.29.15

Have you ever been told that God never puts on you more than you can handle?
Do you know what my response is to that statement?  It's HOGWASH!!

I think sometimes He allows times and circumstances in our lives that paralyze us, overwhelm us, and sometimes even shake our faith!

There have been nights since March when shivering and fatigue and anxiety so overwhelmed me that I just had to say, "God, I can't bear this anymore...God, this is too much.....God, I can't do this....I can't stand it!".......and you know what I think?  Sometimes He's just waiting to hear us call His name, to admit our deep, deep need for Him.  When we do, He's always there - He lifts our head when we are too weak to hold it up!

In the beginning of my Cardiac Crisis, I was told "heart failure" & "Irreparable damage".....I felt hopeless and He whispered Hope to me!  He can do that for you, too! No matter the situation!

"This I recall to my mind, therefore have I HOPE. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, for His compassions fail not, they are new EVERY morning! Great is His faithfulness!"
Lamentations 3:21 (emphasis added)
