Do you ever have those days where you just want to throw your hands up in the air and quit? Maybe you are just fed up of how things have been and you are ready to give up. Ive had those days and they seem to come at me when I least expect it. Sometimes I think if I only had to deal with one problem at a time rather than trying to juggle the plates of my life I would probably fare much better. However Ive come to realize thats not the case. The times when I think I wont make it I remember something that gives me courage, I was built to last. I was built to endure. Before the foundations of the earth were laid God handcrafted me to be a strong, courageous, and virtuous woman as I trust in Him. In the Bible many times it talks about trials and troubles when they come, not if they come. This life provides stress and strife but I know as I trust God he will bring me through. I am encouraged by Romans 12:12 which reads, Take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees.  Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

In times of trouble remember that God never permits the godly to fall and longs to strengthen and encourage you.

Virtuous woman face the day with strength, for you are an overcomer!

We all have seasons in life when we face challenges and wonder whats the point. You may ask why am I suffering? You may wonder if anyone cares or even takes notice. Sometimes, you may even wish you could just disappear, just get away from it all. But there is a purpose in the struggles. There is a plan. You were not accidently brought into this world. God loves you, friend and he has a purpose for you.

God notices those tears that you cry, every one. (Psalm 56:8). He has also promised never to leave you. (Hebrews 13:5). He didnt promise us a life without sorrow and heartache but he did promise to be there with us and he does have a purpose for our pain. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you.They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." This is one of my favorite promises. It reminds me that God has plans for me, for everyone of us. And his plan is NOT for disaster but for a future filled with hope and great things! So even though I dont understand why Im struggling, I do know that God has a reason for it and that gives me hope.

So when you face your challenge, remember that your suffering does not go unnoticed. God has a future for you and great things in store for you.
