Treading Water
I feel like I’m sinking.
It’s as if I’m treading water and I can’t find the strength to keep my head above water. I go up and down – water gets into my mouth – I spit it out – I take a breath. Then I look up because God is up. I know He is there and He’s the only one who can help – I look up and set my eyes on Him.
God is my strength and hope – nothing else – no man – nothing else.
God will help me get back to land and get my feet firmly planted.
Until I can get to shore, I need your help to prayer because I want to quit and surrender to the God’s calling on my life – it’s too hard – it’s too much work – it’s too much pain. I feel alone and not sure what to do next.
Who will walk alongside me?
I feel like I’m going under again – THEN I look up once more – God help me….
I’ve been faithful.
I’m hearing your voice God.
I know how powerful you are God.
I know you fight for me God.
Help me have the strength to keep my head above water.
Help me keep my eyes on you God.
Remind me of the mission you have for me God. To help women by walking alongside them to stay strong in their relationship with you. All so we can be the women you need us to be, so we can pass our faith and strength to the next generation.
I pray for open doors of opportunities, for strategic ideas to help women who live in similar conditions and situations as I do. I pray you bring sustainability to the ministry to keep it financially stable. I pray for words of encouragement to be bountiful and easy to understand for all women I am allowed to come in contact with may it be in-person or online.
Help me share my story of redeeming grace from a dark past to help lost souls come to know you.
Help me communicate how mighty and powerful you are, how loving and caring you are, how amazing and merciful you are.
Rise up, rise up the mighty power of the Holy Spirit that lives in me!
No one said this life would be easy. Yet it is 100% better than my past lifestyle of addiction.
So where do I (we) go from here? You are WE if you felt any emotion in reading this.
We keep pressing on by asking for prayer, reading our Bible because it gives us life and keep on doing the next right thing.
Don’t ever give up. It may be the day your breakthrough happens.
Now I feel better… do you?
I’m lying on my back, floating with the waves of life—and I’m not sinking anymore.
Praise God.
