uphill battles

For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.

- Jeremiah 31:25

It’s been a long uphill battle, me and my broken leg.

I’m out of energy.

On the outside I look like I’m doing great, when people ask me how it’s going, I smile and say it could be so much worse.

Because realistically it could.

I complain a lot though, and I cry a lot.

I really need to stop that, and fully rely on God. 

Song reference!

This current is trying to wreck me
Like castles of sand, castles of sand
My fear, like an enemy army
Is marching again, but I'm making a stand

You surround me on every side
Your love is my armor, I fear no evil
Darkness runs from Your light
So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid

You're going before me and oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles
When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking
You're fighting my battles

You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles

Time after time, You're my refuge
You heal every scar, You're guarding my heart
Your promise, the hope that I cling to
My rescue, my friend, You come rushing in

And surround me on every side
Your love is my armor, I fear no evil
Darkness runs from Your light
So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid

You're going before me and oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles
When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking
You're fighting my battles

You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles

You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles

In my weakness, You are strong
Every trouble, You have overcome
In my weakness, You are strong
Every trouble, You have overcome
In my weakness, You are strong
Every trouble, You have overcome
You have overcome

You're going before me and oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles
When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking
You're fighting my battles

You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles
You're fighting my battles

Complaining and crying to others, it does no good. 

It opens doors for self-pity and rage, and those are not Godly traits.

No matter what happens, God is on my side, holding my hand, loving and protecting me.

I’ll get through this mess with Him.
