Have you ever found yourself dealing with what feels like endless pain and troubles? So much so it seems as if you cannot recall when your spirit wasn’t heavy and grieved? How do you cope when your soul is tired and sore and your heart is so fragile?

As, a child of the most high, you are called to live a life as a light to the world, but what happens when the trials and disappointments of life leave you feeling broken and heavily wounded? The truth is all paths of pain lead home to the arms of our Heavenly Father. This is not a cliche nor an immediate relief from the anguish, but it is the pathway of release and recovery.

You and God are a team. He designed you to face hard things, but not alone. To endure, one must seek Him for love and replenishing. For He and only He can hold your fragile heart and restore it fully and to release it back to the battlefield of life.

Therefore, although the story seems long and the pain never ending, the truth is your fragile heart is constantly being fueled and restored so that you can press on in His glory and strength to be fully present in a dark and trying world.

So today, take your fragile heart to the One who can restore it and revive it to face another day.
