On Giving Up

“If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength” (Proverbs 24:10, NIV).

I know things are tough, but you’re tougher. You can get through this. The difficult circumstances you’re facing right now are an opportunity for you to show God how much you trust Him. It’s easy to have faith in God and say you believe He’s good when things are rolling along relatively smoothly. It takes a whole other level of commitment to choose to trust Him when you can’t see how He’s going to come through this time. Say, “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.” But don’t give up!

I am weak, God. I feel like a failure in so many areas of my life. I want to be a better mother. I want to stop yelling at my kids so much. I want to be more faithful in seeking You. Help me not to give up. You said that only a mustard seed of faith could move mountains. Well, that’s about all I have. But I’m counting on that being enough because of Your promises to me.
