My Exchange

Away from the World and hidden from public view, I exchange …

My weariness for His strength,

My weakness for His power,

My darkness for His light,

My problems for His solutions,

My burdens for His freedom,

My frustrations for His peace,

My turmoil for His calm,

My hopes for His promises,

My afflictions for His balm of comfort,

My questions for His answers,

My confusion for His knowledge,

My doubt for His assurance,

My nothingness for His awesomeness,

The temporal for the eternal, and

The impossible for the possible!

~ Liz George

I love this quote by Elizabeth George. There have been times in my life when God has brought me to the place where I have admitted that I could not go on without His help. I remember sitting on my bed one morning praying through this list, crying to Him for help and surrendering everything to Him. Whatever your struggle may be right now or in the future, may this quote bring you strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. :)
