He Succors Me in Weakness...

 

In overcoming an infection, and trying out a new med, I have been experiencing a lot of weakness lately, which feels like my body and soul have been battered and bruised. There is One who understands what that feels like. Who knows the stress of managing a debilitating chronic illness, motherhood, and going back to school. He is willing to heal and deliver. He has come to save. He won't take away the trials of this life- no, instead He willingly set an example of choosing to take them on so He would know how to succor me. 

It isn't easy to trust in Him. This week, I have actively turned to distraction and worldly wisdom, I have almost been afraid to turn to God. 

Because I was angry. Because I was disappointed. Because I felt unworthy. 

Yet, I know He came and lived among us and suffered our sins and afflictions and temptations so that He would know what it feels like to be angry, disappointed, doubting worth. 

The Living Christ continues: 

"Of Him the Prophet also declared: “And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

“For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—

“That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God” (D&C 76:22–24)."

Because of Him, I am a daughter of God. He has paid for me with His precious blood. As His daughter, I have infinite and eternal worth in His sight. 

Can I repent of my doubt, and have faith enough to reach out to Him and be healed?

Likely not healed of narcolepsy, as amazing as that would be. 

But healed of the doubt and the fear and the anger?

Healed to let Him into my story.
