I don't have the strength to do my work, plus overtime, plus all the things to stay healthy in my body, and relationships. But guess what?! God gives me the grace to have the strength to accomplish my work, and God gives me the health and the ability to love others. God gives me what I need, I don't have it.
I cannot even rest! I try to rest and my mind whirls, but somehow I fall a sleep and awake ready to go again the next day, saying "Yes God, You are my God". I cannot relax, but God gives me peace. Knowing He is all powerful, all loving toward me, and that He never rests, puts my mind at ease, and I trust in my Lord Jesus. God gives me rest, I don't have it.
I can't think straight. I won't think rightly about God, but His Holy Spirit in me renews my mind. My thoughts stray from truth, but by God's Spirit I take every one of my thoughts captive and put them under the leadership of Jesus Christ. God has given me power, love and a sound mind, I don't have it.
NOW, I have all I need in God. I have grace through faith in God, and Holy Spirit God ushers me into His rest, deep rest, assured of His love and protection over me. NOW, I have the mind of Christ, as I speak things into existence by proclaiming His good promises found in His good Book.
NOW, God has given me all I need for LIFE and godliness, that I may be transformed into His image, from glory to glory, from trial to victory, from grace and power, from humility and honor. The Lord He is God, and my Maker He is my provider, my redeemer. His love will sustain me, and uphold me forever.
