God Will Hold You When You Can’t Hold It All Together

Have you ever felt like if you let go, everything would fall apart?

I’ve been there, sweet friend— in a place of uncertainty and fear—trying desperately to fix it all myself. I’ve tried to mend my loved ones’ heartaches while stuffing my own emotions deep inside. During the hardship, I thought I had to be strong for everyone else and pretend everything was fine, when I was anything but fine.

Eventually, I realized my strength wasn’t enough.

But in trying to hold it all together, I only created more problems. When we stuff the pain down inside and try to ignore it, it damages us. What I’ve learned to do instead is take it all to my Lord. He knows what to do with my pain and exactly how to help me overcome it all.

God knows how to comfort my troubled heart. He knows exactly what I need and when I need it. Instead of pretending that I am strong, I am learning to take my weaknesses before the Lord because God can use it all for good.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

What a relief it is to know that His power shines brightest when I am weak.

When we pour our hearts out to God, He helps us. Sometimes the most significant thing we can do is simply ask Him for help, and then live in the present moment. We worry about tomorrow or five minutes from now and often fail to live in the moment we are in right now. I’ve caused myself so much additional pain by worrying about tomorrow and failing to live in today.

God will give us the strength we need for tomorrow—tomorrow.

When we are going through hard seasons, the best thing we can do is turn to God and allow Him to help us. The closer we get to God, the more He will help us.

So today, take a deep breath and remember: you don’t have to hold it all together. Let God hold you instead.
