I was never promised an easy life. It seems like am always dealing with stress, distractions or trials. I try to fix what I think are “small things” on my own. I forget I can call on the King of Kings to help me carry all my burdens. Worries pile up and build negativity. Eventually, I get tired of hurting and seek Jesus for help.

1 Corinthians 16:13 is, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011)

When I remain in God’s Word, I am reminded that he is mighty. Jesus loves me no matter what I have done and wants me to reach out for help. I am weak on my own and limited in my strength. When I stand with God, I am strong. He guides me through any problem.
