Psalm 73:26

Hey guys! I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted, but I still check this blog at least once a week hoping to see new posts! There has been so much going on lately, but I just wanted to tell y’all about one thing that maybe you can find helpful.

We all feel this way at one point or another… it’s a fear everybody faces…FAILURE. Lately I have felt as if I am failing at life. Now, don’t get me wrong, some things right now are going wonderfully, but not everything. I am blessed beyond what words can relate (especially now that the mavericks are the NBA champions…), but there’s still that sense of failure that follows sometimes. I am here to tell you that because Christ is in us, WE CANNOT FAIL. It’s literally impossible. God meets the standard on our behalf. He makes up for what we can’t do. Also, you may not know it, but every one of us is influencing someone else’s life. You are an encouragement and a role model to someone. And this is where I’ve gotta give a heartfelt thank you thank you THANK YOU to my girl Emily Hamilton. When life kicked me down and I couldn’t find the strength to get back up, the LORD used her to speak to me. She encouraged me and got me going again. That’s why we have friends, people to connect with and support us, this blog! So don’t ever feel like you are anything less than a child of the king! When you mess up, when you fall down, even when you do fail in an effort to do something, remember Psalm 73:26.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

-ALexa

P.S. here are a couple more verses I ran across today… “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
