And I thought to myself...
I seldom ask for a reason to persevere on. Everything happens for a reason and I trust that the reason will never be to harm me or put me down.
And I thought to myself...
"Why do I have to go through this cycle again?"
I am a sheep amongst the wolves. Threat, danger and frustration arise when people step over one another or point fingers for their personal gains. My team will usually get the impact. To add on, covering for 2-3 persons' job with 1 person's pay is a common scenario here. This situation can drive me to a corner, choke me by the throat and leave me breathless; grasping for air at the end of the day. This hat seems to be too big for me and I hope it will be lifted from me. 😩
Feeling overwhelmed. Feeling small. Feeling discouraged. But what is the truth?
“This is GOD ’s Word on the subject: “As soon as Babylon’s seventy years are up and not a day before, I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
“When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. “When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” GOD ’s Decree. “I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you”— GOD ’s Decree—“bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.”
Jeremiah 29:10-14 MSG
