From scriptures, it is not news that even young men that are known for strength would go weary. It is also not a news that mighty men would utterly fall. Situations affects men differently. And at times it may be so overwhelming. No one pray for bad things to happen to him or her, but still it happens. The earth as a result of the fall in the garden of Eden suffers trouble and distress.
The inhabitant of the earth faces different duress situations at different times. Although, the situation around you may be quite challenging, do not let your heart be troubled, believe in Jesus. I sincerely understand how intense sometimes life may present itself, I have been there too. The good news is God has not leave us comfortless. Also, God has wonderful plans for his children in distress.
Christians pass through difficult situations for different reasons. For some it is because they lost loved ones, for others debt, some sicknesses etc. irrespective of what it may be, it is time for you to encourage yourself in the Lord as David did. Walk through the season in faith and trust God for strength. Also, you have to substitute weakness, depression, heart ache with God’s words and intense prayers. God is always available to save.
