Encouraging Bible Verses for Women. You know that feeling of exhaustion that hangs heavy on your chest? It steals your joy and energy. Yes, that’s it. I’ve been there and as I searched God’s Word for Encouraging Bible Verses for Women, I wanted to share them with you.
Amidst the hustle of trying to adjust to living in another country, homeschooling 2 kids, managing the home, and my part time job – I’m exhausted.
Barely keeping my head of above water some days. Working hard. Going to bed exhausted. Waking up weary.
Putting on the smile and cheerful attitude so others don’t see, because – after all- I’m the christian and should not feel this way.
Right?
And feeling ashamed about these feelings. Which makes it worse.
I sat re-evaluting my time with God
*Have I fallen short?
*Am I distracted?
*Is something getting in the way of me hearing God’s voice and resting in His arms?
*Has my daily time with God become more routine instead of deep passion?
Diving back in with a fierceness in my soul I cranked up the worship music and wept. Skin on the cold tile. Tears pooled beneath me.
I cried out for renewal!! Praying and worshipping God. Telling Him all I need is HIM. He is enough. I begged Him to change me.
I dragged out my truth journal from it’s hiding spot and wrote out my ugly feelings that overwhelmed this momma’s heart.
I then wrote out the truth over myself, my heart, my feelings and my life. Making sure to add Scripture and to let my heart and mind settle on those verses of truth.
