Wish I could remember which Livestream I heard these encouraging words on so that I could credit the pastor who uttered them. His message provided just the reminder I needed to lift me out of my funk.

This world is not our home. We will face trials and tribulations as we travel from where we are to where God wants us to be. However, He has promised to be with us, and is just as present in the journey as in the destination.

When the going gets rough, instead of feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, we need to lift up our eyes to the One our help comes from, and remember that He is in control.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is

the strength of my heart and my portion

forever. -- (Psalm 73:26 ESV)

...from everlasting to everlasting you are

God. -- (Psalm 90:1 ESV)

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where

does my help come? My help comes from

the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

. . . The LORD will keep your going out

and your coming in from this time forth

and evermore. -- (Psalm 121:1-2,8 ESV)

When you pass through the waters, I will

be with you; and through the rivers, they

shall not overwhelm you; when you walk

through fire you shall not be burned, and

the flame shall not consume you.

(Isaiah 43:2 ESV)

Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when

I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness,

the LORD will be a light to me.

(Micah 7:8)
