“Be little like a child of love in the arms of your Father. Where you cannot walk, he will carry you.” – St. Francis De Sales
It is not always a time for running and striving. It is not always a time for battles and for spears. There is a time for rest and silence, a time for reflection and renewing of one’s strength.
If you cannot carry on, surrender your burdens to God and let Him carry you. Let Him take away your worries. Let Him wipe your every tear.
We have a Father in heaven who cares for us and watches over us. Things do not always depend upon our strength.
Spend some days of quiet and try to hear His gentle voice guiding you within. Listen to the sounds of nature that continue to await the will of Him who brings healing and hope.
You are not alone. Be still and know that you have a God and that He loves you very very much.
“Your strength will be found in silence and in hope.” – Isaiah 30:15, CPDV
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Let the striving cease and rest in Him! Loved today’s reflection, Joyce. Blessings!
