Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isa 40:30-31).
As I think about the Lord, I see His majesty and greatness in everything that He does in my life. He raised me from the ashes. We cannot afford to be weary and weak, and this is why this blog was created– to help those who struggle to rely on God and keep focus on who He really is.
As Oswald Chambers said:
“God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.”
If you are going through the struggles, you need to know that God has plans for the better only! He would never put you through something that you cannot handle. The most important thing is to seek Him. Do not rely on people because they are the same ashes as you an I are, but seek the Creator.
I am a Prodigal Daughter who returned to my Father for good; I am a wife, a mother, and I live for the Lord.
It wasn`t that long ago when I rejected God and became angry with Him for putting me through the worst nightmare any woman can go through, a marriage betrayal. As I became angry, bitter, and only desired to punished those who wronged me, I didn`t notice how I kept destroying my own life. I brought myself so low, that as I was retching on the floor in the bathroom all drunk, I realized that I have no right to be this selfish. There is no place for self-pity when you are a true christian, because you realize that everything you go through and live for is for your own benefit and for the glory of the Utmost High. He would never put me through something that would not be for my own benefit and for His glory. He loves me so much that He gave His own Son, Jesus for me.
When I woke up the next morning, I decided that something had to change, and I met with my pastor and his wife.
The hardest thing I ever heard that day was their advice: seek the Lord and His will first, and everything else would be added along the way. I had to go to the very beginning--start reading the Bible. I had to face forgiving my husband, and many other people that were/are involved.
He binds up our wounds. My Lord promised in Psalm 147:3:
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

This is the promise that I have from my Heavenly Father that regardless of how much others betray me or do me wrong, He is there for me to lift me up and "bind up my wounds". He already started doing that as I submitted to His will and asked for forgiveness being that prodigal daughter.
I surrendered my life over again to Him once and for all. He renews my strength every day, so I could mount up with wings like eagles not to be weak and weary of my every day trials and circumstances.
My Lord is faithful God, and He can do for you what He is already doing for me.
If you feel like there is no end to your struggles or to your trials, know this, that our Father gave up His own, sole Son, Jesus Christ, so you and I could be redeemed of our sins, transgressions, iniquities, sickness, hurt, and death.
If you feel like there is nothing left in your life and you understand that the only way out is through Him; He is there to restore you, to rebuild you, to save you. You can commit your life to God realizing that we only get saved through believing that Jesus died for our sins and rose again. If you believe that, you can pray with all your heart the following words:

Dear Heavenly Father, I realize that I`m a sinner and are not worthy to be called your son or daughter. I realized that I have sinned against You. I am asking You to come into my heart and forgive me all my sins that I`ve been committing in my life because I know that the only way forward is with You. I need Your grace, Your mercy, Your forgiveness, Your love, Your healing. Please take over my life and cleans me of all my iniquities. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
If you have prayed this simple prayer, I can only say this: Congratulations! You have the most gracious Father now, Who is for you, and Who would lead you and protect you.
