Discouraged

I am very discouraged tonight.  And tired.  I’ve not been this discouraged in a long time.

I’m preaching to myself all that I know to preach, and yet this heavy heartedness and tiredness and discouragement have got me beat tonight.

Overwhelmed is a good word.  By work, by parenting, by finances, by health problems, by many things.  It’s rare nights like this that I think I can not possibly take another step forward.  And yet, I know that my God sees and knows and is working.

Sometimes it is best to put a day to rest, get up tomorrow and try again.  His mercies are new every morning.  Great is His Faithfulness.
