Bumps & Hurdles

I felt a bit run down during the week and just talked with a really close friend. She told me that we will always stumble upon those bumps and fall on the hurdles but God will help us through it all. She said I needed to hand everything over to God, all my worries and frets and he will hang them around his neck and take the worries and pain and bad memories away. So I came home and really thought about what she had said and thought this, life is like running a big race, (but not quite a race because everyone will get to their goal at different times!) when we've ran for a while and our feet drag along a bit, we'll get a bit clumsy and might stumble. Then later on we get tired and after a few stumbles we might fall, pain is involved and slows you down. Some people might drop out and give up but others will keep running. They might fall again and after that some more runners will give up. Some of the people who were still going strong (or some not so strong, but still going) have God in their lives. He encouraged them, he stayed with them, he wasn't going anywhere. So I guess I'm trying to say don't give up when you come to the first hurdle, I know it's difficult but it's worth it. Just pray. So keep running, or walking, it doesn't matter because you're still going! In any of those times when you feel alone or frightened just call on God and ask for help, he will hear you and pick you up, dust you off and patch up your your wound. Have faith.

Matthew 19:26  Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Isaiah 41:10  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand
