Have you ever felt that the effort of pushing fear, pain, worry to the wayside in order to keep moving forward is like trying to swim up current?

It takes a lot of effort to make any progress while the fear, pain, worry comes right back around at you anyway…

It’s exhausting.

Makes my arms feel like Jell-O.

And the heaviness is worse due to my efforts.

Perhaps that’s the key….the effort of pushing it away is exhausting, but flowing with the current is not.

Where will the worry take me if I let it carry me, I ask?

Into the arms of the One I say I trust in~ who is always waiting to catch me…

Deuteronomy 33:27 says the eternal God is your refuge…and His everlasting arms are underneath you.

Psalm 120:1 is an all surrounding me theme this morning~

I took my troubles to the Lord

– I cried out to Him-

And He answered my prayer.

Being honest with the Lord about my concerns is like floating with the current…I am not trying to avoid them…I am not trying to push those thoughts away…I am not feeling sorry for myself while I acknowledge them…

I am giving them to the One who can hold all that I care about and still hold me too.

That’s what I need.

Strong, righteous, everlasting arms underneath me.

Psalm 16:8 I HAVE SET THE LORD CONTINUALLY BEFORE ME; BECAUSE HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.
