There are times in life when one can feel tired and run down—stuck in a rut that you can’t seem to get out of. Maybe you are trying to live out what James says about ‘counting it all joy’ when you meet various trials, but you don’t feel strong enough to have the courage to persevere through it.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” —James 1:2
God’s Word offers plenty of encouragement to help you keep running the race that God has set before you. The Lord knows there will sometimes be moments, days, and seasons where we will feel low. He knows your worries before they ever pop into your mind. Scripture tells us we can give our fears and anxieties to Him.
“Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” —1 Peter 5:7
Whatever you may be going through, it is never too big for God. You can lay it at His feet. You can give Him every worry, doubt, and fear, and know that God is in control. He is with you.. He knows what is to come in your life, and you can rest in that assurance because our God is the one who is and who was and who is to come (Revelation 1:8). Your life is in His loving and gracious hands.
