Recently I have had one trial after another... and some mornings I wake up in so much pain that I often consider staying in bed. I simply cannot face another day.
There is much going on behind the scenes with my family which I am not at liberty to talk about and it is the sort of stuff that I can do nothing about, or help. Except pray.
On days like that, I start the day with morning prayer with Chris. We start by thanking Him for another day of life, and we ask for His Strength and blessing on us as we travel through the day.
Most times with Chris being quite ill himself, we mention that we don't understand how people get on without God. And we thank Him afresh for His faithfulness to us even as we shakily stand and shuffle together through each hour.
Often we remind each other that God is faithful and is the same today as He was yesterday, and will be tomorrow.
And as we pray before closing our eyes, we once again are grateful that we have managed to do at least that which was most needful, and we thank Him for that.
We manage to drift off to sleep, secure in the knowledge that God will be there waiting to help us as we painfully wake up to another morning...
The only reason I've made it this far is God.
His grace carried me.
His plan sustains me.
His promise still stands.
