Am I Struggling?

He asks us not to worry. That's hard. That's real hard, especially with so many struggles in life. Where do we find the energy to struggle? Sometimes I feel like I have no more energy to do it. Sometimes I wish I could just be given the energy--just take a little trip to the store and purchase a little energy--well a lot! I suppose I could buy some of those drinks (those energy booster drinks) and sip on them every moment of the day. Though I am quite sure all those drinks would give me energy that would allow me to get all my housework done in 30 minutes flat and then crash from a serious sugar low! That's not quite the kind of energy I'm looking for. I am searching for that kind of energy that tells me it's okay--the kind of energy that pushes me through those rough spots in life. The kind of energy that can only come from Him.



As I studied scripture this morning, He led me to His perfect words. Colossians 1: 29 tells me that I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me. Wow! I struggle with His energy. I don't need my own--my own isn't enough! I don't need energy-boosting drinks--they aren't enough! I must struggle. It's just a part of this journey here on Earth. But I struggle with His energy. That makes me ponder...if I struggle with His energy, then am I struggling???
