when life Feels Like a Hurricane

Be strong and courageous is what we are commanded to do. But how Lord we ask when we don't feel like it. How do we do this when life Feels Like a Hurricane? "Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Recently I did a devotional on prayer and we were encouraged to ask the Lord to tell us what we should pray for. Very clearly I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to pray for courage and strength. We all have our goliaths,  things that seem so enormous, God's word is reminding me that I do not face mine on my own. I do not face my current health Challenge on my own. He goes with me and he goes before me. "Lord I Thank you for this promise that you are with us wherever we go. I thank you that it is not by my strength but by yours. Thank you Lord for surrounding us with an army of friends. Amen"
