Sometimes we get sucked down into discouragement because we simply cannot manage to lift our eyes see anything other than the problem or challenge in front of us. Have you ever felt like this? Stuck? How about stuck and nervous?
I’ve been known to spend time there. 

On paper the first full week of February looked very busy. My calendar held a number of meetings and appointments plus two day-long commitments bookending the week. 

Earlier this week, I read this quote in a devotional called Battle Prayers: “The longer I go without your Word, the weaker my spirit becomes and the harder my heart grows. But feasting upon it, I grow stronger and more sensitive to Your Spirit.” 

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)

“Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water; and you without silver, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without silver and without cost!"  

Isaiah 55:1 (CSB)

For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling.

Isaiah 30:15 (ESV)
