Do you ever feel like life is overwhelming you? I have never felt so overpowered by life as I did this past week. As everything was changing around me, I found myself to be at a loss for control over each situation and in utter confusion each day. However, it is in these moments that God usually sends some words of wisdom to us. Mine were as follows:
"It is a blessed thing when the faithful soul in prayer fixes his uplifted eyes of faith on JESUS ONLY; when he does not look about him to lay hold on his own scattered thoughts, nor behind him at Satan who threatens him with the thought that his prayer is in vain, nor within him at his sloth and lack of devotion; but looks up to JESUS, who sits at the right hand of God and makes intercession for us" (Hammer of God by Bo Giertz)
I want these words to speak for themselves. I hope you all have a blessed week!
Beautiful words, that speak deeply. JESUS ONLY! In all aspects of life may we look to Jesus and Him alone. Thank you Kate.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
