Strength to Go Through

“More people ask the Lord to lighten their burden than ask him to strengthen their backs.”
(E.C. McKenzie from 1800 Quotable Quotes)

In my life I would say the thing I appreciate more than anything is that I can ask God for strength.  There are some things in life that you have to walk through.  You can’t go around them.  You can’t avoid them.  Jesus had to go through the cross, but he prayed and his Father gave him strength.

I have found that a great peace comes upon me when I buckle down for the burden, so to speak, when I am not looking for the easy way out but for the strength to go through.   Set your mind to go through hardships.  Teach the kids to have this mindset as well and they will experience more peace.

He gives strength to those who wait upon him.
