Difficult Days; Sufficient Grace

The last few days have been some of the most difficult days I have ever lived. Emotionally, I have been a wreck, and mentally, I’ve been exhausted. I’ve had many prayer sessions with my Creator, asking for his help and seeking wisdom, grace, and peace. Last night, while in prayer, I wondered aloud why I was chosen to walk the road before me. I felt inadequate, at best.

When I opened Facebook around noon today, the first post on my wall was a “memory post” from 14 years ago. It was this scripture from Psalm 139:16: "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." I immediately felt tears in my eyes. What a timely scripture. I decided to click on my “Memories” link and see if I had posted anything else on October 2nd. To my surprise, I found nine other posts, going back 15 years.

Some might say it was merely coincidental that, out of the 10 total posts available, this particular post was my memory of the day, but I don’t think so. I believe it was God’s way of reassuring me that he knows where I am, he’s always known what I'd face, and his grace will be sufficient for whatever lies ahead. To those who pray for me, thank you. I feel your prayers.
"And he said unto me, 'My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness,'" 2 Corinthians 12:9.
