January 16, 2025 — Finding Strength in Struggles
Words of Light
“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
Reflection
Struggles are not meant to break you but to refine and strengthen you. When you place your hope in God, He renews your strength, enabling you to rise above challenges.
Each struggle, though heavy, prepares your soul for what lies ahead—deepening your faith, sharpening your resilience, and crowning you with hope. Remember, God walks beside you, offering His strength when you feel weak.
What struggle are you facing today? Surrender it to God and trust in His renewing power.
Affirmation
“My strength is renewed by my hope in God.”
Peace, Rita
