Milk and Honey

I am weary

Isaiah 40: 31 tells me: "But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Please renew my spirit and help me to mount up and press on. Forgive my weakness and please strengthen my faith. I miss my family.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 tells me: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place which I sent you into exile."

I know, Jesus, that This Place isn't your exile land for me. I know that in fact it is my land of milk and honey and yet I so often feel lost and alone. Help me to cling to Exodus 3:7.

"I have certainly see the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heart their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering." 

You delivered me to this land. Please help me to see it as a blessing. The blessing, calling, and privilege that it is.  Give me more grace and mercy when I rage against you and desire to have a comfortable easy life. For truly I desire to know you even more intimately and desire your will.
