Some days I am filled with confidence and hope in knowing that God is working in me and preparing to do powerful things with my life.
Other days, I struggle to have that sense of hope. Intellectually, I know that God is at work, but my heart longs to see tangible evidence of His plans.
Quite honestly, on really bad days, I can't see how I'll get through another week or month without falling apart, and I have to tell myself that I only have to make it through one more day.
How thankful I am for God's Word that encourages my soul on the darkest of days.
Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?
You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth.
You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again.
(Psalm 71:19-21)

Lisa,
I think of the Kleenex commercial where one of the last lines is something like, "I will still cry though because my tears do not compromise my strength!"
I have always thought of you as a strong person with a deep love for God and His word! Your "bad days" do not compromise who you are! Because you are able to take encouragement from God's word during the hard times, those "bad days" should be a reenforcement of how strong you truly are AND a reminder of God's faithfulness.
I'm praying for you...
