God Knows What I Need
I don’t know about you. I am so weary. In my case, it’s not the continuing social isolation. It’s a confluence of circumstances. Because of the nursing shortage, and because our disabled daughter requires 24-hour nursing, we have had to take care of her all night ourselves four days out of seven each week for months, but at least we could catch up sleep the other three days (for the time being all daytime nursing is covered). But the nurse who cares for her three nights a week has been out this week. As of tomorrow night, we will have had nine straight nights without nursing help.
Yeah, I’m weary.
We pray about it. It’s hard. But God is faithful. I’m weary, but I am strengthened.
The Lord gives strength to those who are tired.
He gives more power to those who are weak. (Isaiah 40:29, International Children’s
Bible)
Thank you, Lord. You know I need it.
He knows you need it, too.
Peace.
