My Hope Is In You Lord

My life is in You, Lord

My strength is in You, Lord

My hope is in You, Lord

In You, it's in You

The past few days, this song has been on my mind. We used to sing it in church quite often, but as new songs come along, other songs get pushed aside. I do not think that I have heard this song for a while, so I am not sure why I keep singing it over and over again.

Well.... I am sure the Lord put it on my heart.

Life is just too hard without God in your life, period. There are just too many trials that come our way. I am so thankful that I have a Wonderful, Faithful, Loving God  that has been by my side through everyday. Whether the day be easy and joyful or it is very difficult and full of grief. I do not know where I would be with out Him.

I need the Hope that He gives me. I need His strength.

I guess one reason this song came to mind, was that I was thinking about Hope. I needed some for myself. I knew I needed to lean on the Lord for that Hope.  A dear sweet bloggy friend ministered God's Love and Hope to me through a sweet email. How awesome it is to be a part of the Family of God!

As this email ministered to me and  started to renew my Hope again, I also felt God renewing my Strength. Thank You Lord for Loving me and for your Hope and Strength! Help me to share your Hope with others!

I will praise You with all of my life

I will praise You with all of my strength

With all of my life

With all of my strength

All of my hope is in You

Lord I want to forever Praise You with all Strength and all of my Life! All of My Hope is in You! 

but those who hope in the LORD

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:31

 

Strength

I have really needed the Lord's Strength today. Not that I haven't needed it everyday of my life.

For some reason I woke up in some kind of funk today. I am sure it doesn't help that some of the children have been having a bad cough. Micah, our youngest has also been running a fever yesterday and today. I do not have a cough, but I do not feel all that great either. My sinuses are a mess.

I am not motivated to do anything. I would just like to crawl into my bed and put the covers over my head. That does not work too well around here. There are too many people that depend on me to be functioning. I need to function. So I will draw my Strength from the Lord.

I pray that I will wake up tomorrow with a better attitude!  Soaring like an eagle would be awesome, but maybe I can just walk and not faint!

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31
