Inspiration for the battle

Some days everything seems like a battle.

Body battling sickness, grown-ups battling messes, children battling each other, grown-ups battling a 3-year-old's arguments and a 5-year-old's attitudes, Mama battling a wiggly screeching baby (EVERY time she needs clothes or diaper changed)...

Battling emotions, fears, anxiety, frustration, impatience, exhaustion... 

Some days it is a battle not to loose hope and just give up.

But tonight I was able to realize, this is what I was made for: to 'fight the good fight' and "run with perseverance the race marked out for us" (See 2 Tim 4:7 & Heb 12:1)

And, really, I'm not battling alone...

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor 12:9

So tonight, I will attempt to rest easy and rest in Him.

Rest Easy by Andrew Peterson

You are not alone
I will always be with you
Even to the end

You don’t have to work so hard
You can rest easy
You don’t have to prove yourself
You’re already mine
You don’t have to hide your heart
I already love you
I hold it in mine
So you can rest easy

Do not be afraid
Nothing, nothing in the world
Can come between us now

You don’t have to work so hard
You can rest easy
You don’t have to prove yourself
You’re already mine
You don’t have to hide your heart
I already love you
I hold it in mine
So you can rest easy

You work so hard to wear yourself down
And you’re running like a rodeo clown
You’re smiling like you’re scared to death
You’re out of faith and all out of breath
You’re so afraid you’ve got nowhere left to go

Well, you are not alone
I will always be with you

You don’t have to work so hard
You can rest easy
You don’t have to prove yourself
You’re already mine
You don’t have to hide your heart
I already love you
I hold it in mine
You can rest easy
