Most days ..remember I said Most....when I wake up in the morning I can say..."It's going to be a good day". Optimistic.... even if the day before was the worst that I've had, I can usually think that this day is going to be a good one. By the end of the day I don't always believe that, with events that have happened that day or things that are said...I think I just want to go to bed and not do this again tomorrow...... but what is the verse....His compassion's never fail, they are new every Morning (Lam. 3:22) He cares about us and cares about what is going on in our lives EVERYDAY.
When I look around me there are people hurting....everyday....dealing with pain, illness, divorce, death, situations that are out of our control. Life stinks sometimes. How can God put people in our lives only to take them away? How can God let us get close to someone and then ask us to walk away? What is HIS plan and what is HIS purpose? We don't always know, and we don't always understand but this is what HE said to me this morning....
Isaiah 40:26, 31
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name.
Because of his power and mighty strength. not one of them is missing.
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
God's power to create, his provision to sustain and his presence to help. God is almighty and all powerful but even so he cares for each of us and each of our situations. We get tired at times and don't want to wake up and say its going to be a good day but God's power and strength never diminish He is never to tired or to busy to help and listen. His strength is our source of strength.

Hi Brenda -
I LOVE this - it's so true . Life stinks and is not fair at times! And it's ok to admit that and think that - and then to remember God IS fair and loves us - even when we aren't realizing it.
I love the verses in Isaiah you quoted - Kristen is claiming Isaiah 40 as she is struggling right now. She sent a note and signed it Love Kristen, Isa.40.
We will mount up w/ wings like eagles and soar - when we wait on the Lord.
Thanks for your encouragement - and reminders!
Love ya,
Cindy
