How many times have you faced a situation where you just stop and say, “it’s just not working!” Maybe you’ve tried “everything” and you’re ready to throw your hands up. You’re tired and just straight up frustrated. Maybe you’ve tried everything to save your marriage, counseling, books, long conversations, shed many tears and made many compromises but it seems it’s not working. Maybe you’ve tried everything to help your child with learning challenges, behavioral issues or health concerns and you don’t see any progress. Maybe you’ve tried every new formula, a different sleep sack every night, rocking, bouncing, swaying, white noise, ocean sounds and yet your baby still won’t sleep and you’re exhausted.  Maybe you’ve tried anything and everything to stop drinking or abusing substances that just numb the pain that no one sees inside and you can’t seem to break free, it has a hold on you. Maybe you’ve tried every medicine, seen many therapists, read many books, tried all the natural routes but you’re still stuck in a pit of depression and anxiety and it’s getting too dark. Or maybe you’re just trying to be a better mom than you had growing up, you’re trying to break the generational curses, habits and destructive behaviors but sometimes it’s a hard wall to breakthrough and you wonder if you can be the mom you so desperately want to be. Maybe it just all feels like it’s not working and you don’t know what to do from here. You’re trying your best and some days it just feels like it’s not enough. Well I strongly believe today that God wants to give you a word of encouragement, try one more time will you and this time with solely the power of Jesus. (Disclaimer: I’m not promising an instant result from the message but simply sharing the power of not giving up and trusting Jesus in these particular situations) I felt it heavy on my heart to share this message with you and as I thought about this concept many many stories in the bible came to mind of godly people feeling the same way and in these stories God came through every time! I believe He is going to come through for you too!
