To Reach Beyond Exhaustion

Sometimes I want to scream, “Lord, just how many lions and bears are out there ManWearyHandHead.jpegwith my name and address?” Jesus knows the difficulty of persevering. I pray a fresh impartation of His grace flood your being now. May His grace strengthen you to reach beyond exhaustion from battle, to reach beyond anger, beyond fear and doubt. May He enable you to get a deep breath and stir new determination to persevere. (2Sam.22:33) —Kathy

He had no idea killing that lion connected to confronting a bear or how that was preparatory to killing a giant or how that would favor him as a candidate for king. (Rom.8:28) —Kathy
