HANG ON TO JESUS
"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the
age." (Matthew 28:20b NIV)
We have all been there before, times when we feel so
all alone, almost lost and wondering why we are here.
We question God about it and ask. "Why do you have
me here God?" You feel like there is no hope, or cure for
your hurts or depressions.
I wonder maybe if that is what the disciples felt after Jesus
had died. They felt hopeless, like they were on a lonely
road to nowhere.
Our Lord tells us that he is with us always. No matter where
we go, what we do, he is there living in us and will give
us release and comfort.
We go through things to make us stronger in him. As we
go we need to cling to his love and mercy and go his way
and not be cantankerous and try our way about it.
Are you hurting, feeling lonely, feeling like you are on a long
dusty road. The Emmaus road is a classic example Jesus
walked with them and they did not even know he was there,
because of their discouragement and questions. They were
on a long and dusty road. Are you there, are you on that road?
Believe and know... that God is there and giving you the strength
to do what you can.
Are you there on that long and dusty road? Hang on, Jesus is
there walking with you. Stop and ask him to bless you. Then dwell
with him there until you feel He has finished.
Father, we desire your presence in our lives, a special touch from
you, while we travel this long lonely dusty road. Bless us Lord and
hold us close so we may feel your love. In Jesus Name.....

Have a good day!
As for your question, I am overwhelmed with the busyness of my life. I don't seem to have time for the things I want to do, I just do what has to be done. I am trying to focus on "Be still and know that I am God." This too shall pass!
I am praying for you my friend! Love ya!
@morningglory06 - you are in my prayers also. my friend..love ya back
Susah, hugs and prayers.... yes, I have felt that way...and I get discouraged with myself for not doing what I know I should and could be doing....and I still don't do it....sigh.....I am so glad that God is more faithful that we are. He is our strong and steady help. no matter what! hope that you feel better today.
with the grad party, cleaning out our home and moving to a new place, I am feeling overwhelmed and would like to go on a vacation!!!! See you Saturday!
@rsernas - we are soooo looking forward to seeing you and the family..hugs
