“Then I will say to my soul, “Don’t be discouraged; don’t be disturbed, for I fully expect my Savior-God to break through for me. Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise him all over again.” Yes, living before his face is my saving grace!” Psalm 43:5 (TPT)

Days of discouragement come, depression nipping at our heels when things seem to be falling apart, again. Yet in the midst of the failures, fears, and frustrations, Your Saviour God, solid, steadfast and true, is there—bigger, much bigger, than it all. 

When everything feels larger than life, simply too much to handle, release it into His strong and capable hands. Just let go, tender one, weight and all, for He can take it.  In fact, He wants to take it and to take care of you!

It may take some practice to do so, as you will be tempted to pull it back over and again, but try dear heart, and encourage yourself in the process.  Even if you let Him hold it, just for a while, so you can catch your breath.  Even in those moments, knowing He has it all, you will find plenty of reasons to rejoice!

Praise Him in advance, joy of His heart, for all He is going to do—glorious breakthroughs are at hand.  He is doing them all for you!
