As soon as I pray, You answer me; You encourage me by giving me strength. – (Psalm 138:3, NLT)
On the day I cried out, You answered me. You encouraged me with inner strength. – (Psalm 138:3, CEB)
When I pray, You answer me and encourage me by giving me the strength I need. – (Psalm 138:3, TLB)
This is an incredibly exciting season, as there are many preparations for the coming month ahead. With so much new, and much to do, I find myself up, moving and pushing through from sunup to sundown. All the work that is being fulfilled is for good and undertaken joyfully, yet I am so grateful that I am met each morning with the new strength that is needed to navigate all that must be accomplished. Between helping prepare my fiance’s old house to sell, assisting in moving he and his son into the home that we have purchased, projects at the new house, sorting and purging items in my own home to ready ourselves to move, and wedding preparation, this week has been crazy busy. Each morning, as I make time with God my priority, I am met with all that is required to rise and run strong throughout the day. He grants me strength and encouragement, as I am filled with joy in knowing the beauty of all that lies before me. May we always remember to call on the Lord, as He is faithful to answer and encourage us and grant us strength.
Each time that we pray,
Our boys sharing the workload too. ❤
God’s faithful to hear;
He grants us His strength,
And draws ever near.
Encouragement’s found,
As we seek His grace;
Empowered each step,
Throughout all our days.
So, rise up in hope,
And call on the Lord;
He grants us His strength,
As love is outpoured.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that as soon as we pray, You answer us. Thank You that You encourage us by giving us strength. Thank You for the countless blessings that You pour out upon us as we walk out our days, seeking Your face. Forgive us for becoming distracted by all that lies before us, rather than looking to You, the One who supplies all that we need for whatever lies ahead. Teach us to trust You more, so that we would seek You in all things and at all times, recognizing the strength and encouragement that You alone supply. Show us how to love those around us in a way that encourages and strengthens them as they pursue the path that has been placed before them. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we pray to You and give You thanks for the encouragement and strength that You provide. Amen.
