I ran across something I wrote 8 years ago on this day that still resonates with me today. I don’t remember the context or what I was feeling that day or even what kind of day I’d had. But here it is, exactly as I wrote it then:

When my song though endless ages isn’t, “I did it my way,” but “Jesus led me all the way,” then God is strong. There are two things I know (and that I heard in a song) that God loves me and He is strong. So tonight I am clinging to that Strong Love with everything that’s in me. God is strong.

That’s the prayer of my heart every night. It’s true on good and bad days, fair or foul weather, peace or storm.

I’m still learning that I need God just as much on the days when everything seems doable and I’m content as on the days that seem impossible where I’ve given up and given in to stress. I need God every single day of my life. And God will be faithful for every single day of my life for the rest of my life.
