We all have hard days and can only hold it together for so long. What is amazing is that we are able to look back and realize how strong we really are after overcoming obstacles in our everyday life.
One thing that is important is to always look to the Lord, not only in a time of need or trouble, but also in a time of joy and praise. Whenever you are feeling down or all out of strength you can look to these verses and be assured that God is always here for you. That God has a great plan and it is not our own.
