Sheen Some days, it just feels like everything is falling apart. The bills keep piling up. Someone you trusted let you down. Your body aches with an illness that just won’t go away. You’re doing your best to stay strong, but deep down, you’re tired—tired of carrying so much on your own.
If that’s where you are right now, I want you to know this: you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. And in those moments when I felt like I couldn’t take another step, I discovered something powerful—God is my strength.
