Finding your strength when you’re feeling weak- Part 1

God Is Within Her - a women’s devotional podcast - A podcast by Valarie Reynolds

What does feeling weak mean to you? For some of you, you feel weak when you have too much on your plate and are feeling exhausted and burnt out. For others, feeling weak might mean to give to everyone else and you haven’t taken care of yourself in a while. Still for others, it could be you’re not feeling successful, you’re not making the strides you want to make in your businesses. Maybe the devil is on full blown attack mode and nothing is going right right now: this is breaking, this isn’t working, then someone got sick, maybe you lost your job? Maybe your hours got cut? Maybe you’re full of worry, stress, anxiety and that sucks the energy and life out of you. Feeling weak is going to be different for everyone. But what I want to leave you with today is how you can find your strength again. Our weakness is God’s moment to step in for us. We are not strong enough alone. We feel weak, tired, exhausted, worries, anxious, etc because we are trying to do anything and everything under our own strength. We hustle and work hard for our businesses and burn-out because we only tap into our own power reserve.What if we stopped treating God like a magic genie and instead, we literally let Jesus take the wheel. (corny I know!) You would rather push through life, tired, exhausted, hungry, on an empty tank than pulling over and giving complete control to God! You would rather hustle a little bit more than take a 24 hour Sabbath, day of rest, giving God a full day to work for you. You would rather do all of the chores than ask your husband for help because “he doesn’t do then right”. You refuse to get a babysitter for 2 hours to watch the kids so you want have that quiet time and rest. You won’t ever say no to a plan because you’re too afraid of hurting that person's feelings, even if you’re already stretched thin and running around like a chicken with your head cut off.  I know you want to be super woman! But you’re not made to be super woman! Pull over and let someone else drive! REST! Even God rested! Do we forget this? You were not made almighty, indestructible, with unlimited energy. God has gifted you a day of rest! Why do we not take it? Let's dive into this together is Part 1 of a two part series: Finding your strength when you're feeling weak.IG: @thebeautifullyenoughpodcastFB: Valarie ReynoldsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.comSupport the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // [email protected]
