The Lord gave me this verse yesterday morning after I had prayed. I had used it in May so I wasn’t sure about using it again, but Hr confirmed it this morning in prayer so here we are. I’ve struggled this week. I have bronchitis again so I’m on stronger steroids, antibiotics, and cough medicine. At the same time, I have some very stressful situations going on. I think I’ve cried every day. Yesterday the Lord told me I needed to spend more time in His presence. He said dwelling in His presence lifts the weight of your cares away. He reminded me I tend to carry weight that isn’t mine to carry. I do it in almost every area of my life. He reminded me I’m to cast my burdens at His feet and LEAVE them there, not pick them back up to carry them on my shoulders later. He said the burdens were too great for me to bear and that I wasn’t meant to bear them all. Then He reminded me of Nehemiah 8:10, He said My joy is your strength. My joy is your strength daughter. That is important for you to understand because I’m bringing you through. Friends, the joy of the Lord IS your strength. I don’t know what your going through, but I do know who is bringing you through it and His joy is your strength! He wants you to know that tonight and to be refreshed in His joy and receive strength from it! Praise Him ye people with your hands up towards the heaven, your joy and strength cometh from the Lord! 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” ~ Nehemiah 8:10
