RELAX IN MY EVERLASTING ARMS. Your weakness is an opportunity to grow strong in awareness of My Almighty Presence. When your energy fails you, Do not look inward and lament the lack you find there. Look to Me in My sufficiency; rejoice in my radiant riches that are abundantly available to help you.
Go gently through this day, leaning on Me and enjoying My Presence. Thank Me for your neediness, which is building trust-bonds between us. If you look back on your journey thus far, you can see that days of extreme weakness have been some of your most precious times. Memories of these days are richly interwoven with golden strands of My intimate Presence.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!”
Psalm 27:13-14 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
As much as human culture and nature detest weakness, it is only when we have exhausted our human ability and been humbled to the point of submission, do we find true communion with God. It is one of the reasons that we suffer, because suffering drives us away from our selves and toward God. The direction that drive takes is usually down on our knees.
The good news is that our suffering and weakness are not for naught. They teach us all the traits we must develop if we are to live in the Eden that God created for us. Then we can even rejoice in our weakness and pain.
Relaxing,
