Today was one of those days where it was hard to get out of bed. I was tired, my back hurt, and I just wanted to go back to sleep. Though I knew I had to be responsible and get things done. I could feel the pull on my heart that I needed to get up. Reluctantly, I did. I felt like my feet were dragging and I had a bad case of tiredness. But bit by bit, I started to get things done. At one point I just prayed, “God I need your strength for today because I can’t do it without you.” Suddenly, I began to wake up more and have more strength. I know that it was God giving me exactly what I needed, to do what needed to be done. Friend, we are human. We all have our days here and there where maybe we just feel like we are dragging our feet. Maybe we don’t feel the best, maybe we are overly tired, or maybe it’s just one of those days. Though I have learned through experience, in His will, He will, give us what we need. It is always best to start with a prayer, first thing. For He is a good God who is always there to help us, in whatever way He knows is best. I am almost finished with my chore list and I know I couldn’t have done it, without God.

Couldn’t have done it without God

Philippians 4:13 NIV

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
