Notes

Isaiah 40:31
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.

No matter what kind of tribulations and no matter what kind of calamities we face, that through having faith and courage to fight against it in Christ will only strengthen our faith and our walk with God. No sin, no burden, no pain can overcome the mighty love of God. Just fall back on Christ when the devil is testing you and is haunting you, for in that toughest moment we realize that Christ's love is sufficient for us and that He is all powerful and can carry the burdens for us. We shouldn't be ashamed to lay out our burdens to Christ from feeling hopeless or weak and because all God wants us to do is turn to Him and look only to Him even in times of sorrow. He weeps when you weep, he rejoices when you rejoice. He is there for you and is there to listen to you because the Holy Spirit is inside of you, despite how you may feel as if God is not there and you feel like you have lost hope in the Lord, be reminded of this: no matter how difficult times may be "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23) Don't cease to pray to God when you feel hopeless because God is good and He is there for you. "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16~18) God cares for you, God loves you, and He adopted you as a son and daughter of Christ. He will never abandon you for He will be there when you need his strength. "It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” (Deuteronomy 31:8) Your walk with God is personal and He is always looking after you even in your darkest times. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11) God loves us so much and he is always pursuing after us because the famous verse we all know about isn't "The World loved God so much that He sent his only begotten son" but "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) God has chased after us, broken down sinners who pervert and twist the good that is remaining in this world. We were first loved by God, and we didn't do anything to earn God's love. It was through grace that we were saved and we have to learn to become humbled by it and not feel ashamed about the mercy He has given us. Feel free from the burdens that are weighing you down and restricting you and soar free like eagles and never grow weary through faith in Christ.
