Wow. I heard a great word tonight. It was out of Nehemiah. I'm seeking God to strengthen my hands so that I do not give up. May I have a mind to work, may I be full of His joy and HOPE -- full of confident expectation that I will see His goodness in the land of the living. Confident that He is faithful and that He will finish the good work He's started in me.
May I keep one hand on the sword and one hand ready to build and do the hard work required to carry out the vision. May I walk in His divine empowerment to remain in the vision and to continually work toward the vision. May I be refreshed and renewed in my understanding of God's vision for me. May I see it anew and be filled with fresh vigor and zeal to see it through. May zeal for the Lord's house consume me.
I was so blessed to have Leslie and Jamie pray for me. I will see His goodness in the Land of the Living. God will not give up on me. God knows exactly where I am in Him. He sees the secret cry of my heart. I will not give up hope! He is near. Like Holly said, He is jealous for me.
He is giving me grace to press the battle as it seems to swell and rage all around me. I will not give up. I will not give in. If I don't quit I'll surely win. The Lord fights for me as I stand my ground in Him.
Renewed strength and vigor. Renewed vision. Renewed resolve. Renewed passion. Renew, renew, renew. More of You, Lord!
