Last night I got dinner with a friend and as we were leaving she told me "you are a strong woman, a prayerful woman." When people tell me I am a strong woman I normally shoot it down immediately, and question it, an doubt but this friend also said a prayerful woman - and that made the difference for me.
Yes, you could call me a strong woman, but the only reason I could ever be said strong is because I am prayerful. Without the Lord leading and guiding my heart, protecting me, and loving me I would not be a strong woman. Without our Lord walking by my side I would not be a strong woman. It by God's grace and being rooted in his love that I am made strong.
The past few weeks, life events should have knocked me down and caused me to give up and just shut down. Instead, I have stood firm, rooted in God, seeking His love and trusting he has a perfect plan for me - beyond anything I could ever possibly imagine.
So though you may be feeling down in the dumps or struggling a bit, remember we are strong in Christ. Without him we are nothing, but with him we can do all things.
