Happy Monday!

Have you been knocked down by the flu or Covid? My son and I both had a bad flu this winter.

It’s easy to get discouraged when you’re not able to be productive, read, write, or even keep up on normal, everyday tasks like the dishes and laundry. Everything seems overwhelming!

Feeling down and discouraged highlights recognizing my need to trust the Lord in His assurance that He will see me through. It emphasizes the fact that depending on the Lord to keep my mind set on His strength is crucial. In His strength I can choose JOY! It’s a great way to fight the enemy and win.

When we’re in the trenches, we need to refuse to give in to discouragement and despair and instead, focus on the Lord and all of the reasons He provides for us to be joyful! We can always trust God’s provisions and love for us even in our toughest moments.

Do you need to be lifted up out of the trenches?
