The Relief That Comes From Him

4/12/2015

7 Comments

 
Five Minute Friday: I missed the Twitter party for the 2nd week in the row... kinda bummed about that but I find happiness in writing. So, that's just want I'm gonna do. Write for 5 minutes, unedited, unscripted... All for Him...

Our prompt this week from Kate is RELIEF

Ready, set, GO!


I find many reasons to struggle however with each struggle, I find relief: Relief from the multiple deaths these last two weeks. Relief of a work load that seemed to be never-ending. Relief from the laundry list of to-do's. Relief of not understanding Scripture when I knew there was an answer to be found. Relief in watching my daughter practice her dance routine for this weekends competition. Relief from not knowing the opening topic to a ministry that is supposed to start next Tuesday. Relief, from every day woe's that can tear me down before the day even starts. And it all has one common denominator: where does one receive such relief? Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! The one who defeated death, the one who is the Alpha and Omega, the one who redeems and mends our brokenness. Yes, our God and creator who loves each of us!

My prayer tonight is for anyone who may need to receive relief from the daily struggles that life seems to like to throw at us. I pray you may find rest in your times of struggle and comfort in His arms of refuge. Amen

Shannon, loved this post. Oh how true it is. Life can become so overwhelming but Jesus indeed offers that sweet relief. Saying a prayer for all those who are feeling overwhelmed; that they may find relief in Jesus.
