Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. – (Psalm 105:4, NIV)
Depend on the Lord for strength. Always go to Him for help. – (Psalm 105:4, ERV)
Seek the Eternal and His power; look to His face constantly. – (Psalm 105:4, VOICE)
We all need strength to navigate each new day well, and God is the One to whom we look for strength. The thing is, we ought to seek Him to begin each day, and continue turning to Him as we go. God is faithful to supply the help and strength we need as we depend on Him, and He carries us through the places and spaces that we do not think we can continue moving forward. Most teachers are in a space of desperately needing God to provide the strength to finish the school year strong. Everyone is eager to be finished, state testing is complete, and kid energy is magnified when the sun starts to come out. There can be much joy as the year comes to a close, yet there are extra challenges as well. May we ever look to the Lord to be our strength, for He is faithful to supply what we need as we turn to Him.
God, You are so good,
and faithful always;
You hear our requests,
throughout all our days.
You’re our Source of strength,
when the days are long;
You fill us with love,
and make our hearts strong.
Your love lifts us up,
so we may press on;
Your grace gives us hope,
as You we call on.
Thank You, Lord Jesus,
that You’re always good;
and Your faithfulness,
how hope’s understood.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are the One we can look to for strength, and that we can seek You ever and always. Thank You that as we do, You meet us and provide what we need to press on. Forgive us for the times that we have tried to navigate on our own or muscle our way through things without You. Teach us to ever trust in You and to seek You in all things. Lead us in Your everlasting love so that we may extend Your goodness to all those around us. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we seek You continually and trust You to lead and provide in all things. Amen.
