Week to Weak

So I’ve struggled all week about this Friday’s encouragement. I couldn’t figure out what I should talk about….The thing is it’s not my word its God’s word & I’ve been slacking on study & prayer w/ Him. Have you ever been there, where you’re physically & emotionally tired?

 Jeremy just got back from his “GUY TURKEY TRIP”. They were gone for 5 ½ days so you can
imagine my physical exhaustion thus leading little to no time w/ God. (We’ve all tried using this excuse) The thing is when we stray for any amount of time we become sluggish. I love the saying “7 days w/out Christ makes one weak” How true this is! In Luke 5, the Bible talks about Jesus calling
the first disciples & Him healing the leprosy man. As the good news spread, more & more people came for healing. Just imagine how loud & chaotic that probably was. I’d feel like I was being pulled from all directions & needed some peace & quiet. Well read Luke 5:16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. When I leave church, bible study, or finish praying I always feel “lighter” (unfortunately not lighter in pounds *S*), refreshed, & overall happier knowing that I’ve
just been recharged in Christ. This in turn makes me a more pleasant person to be around. I have more patience w/ my husband & children & I feel like I an roll w/ life’s struggles easier.  So I pray today for you some quiet time w/ our Lord. Take 5 minutes & pray or read a Bible study, be
still & let God’s love embrace & comfort you.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend & Happy Mother’s Day. Remember to Praise God always!  I love ya!!!

James 5:13, 16b ¹³Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise…. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective.
