Strengthen Me, O Lord!

There are times along life's journey that we must pause and make the petition, Strengthen Me, O Lord. You may look to the left or right and there is no one in sight. Dial a number for prayer and receive an answering machine to no avail. Express yourself to a listening ear and realize you shouldn't have shared. BUT He did promise to make a way of escape when it gets too much to bear. David never expected his own familiar friend. BUT today we know Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Life happens, this we must know, He promised never to leave us alone. Continue to walk this journey, because there is an expected end. Don't dismay and don't despair, just whisper Strengthen Me, O Lord.

The Lord is MY Light and MY Salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the STRENGTH of MY life of Whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
