If the day is long and my temper is short….He is enough.
For those nights when I put my head on the pillow and can only think about the failures of the day….He is enough.
When I’m sure my kids will be less than they could be due to my failures as a mom….He is enough.
After the words slipped out of my mouth and I wish I could snatch them back….He is enough.
While I’m carrying a burden and life’s lost some of its joy….He is enough.
During those seasons when I’m feeling all alone….He is enough.
As my prayers seem unanswered and my struggles seem to grow….He is enough.
The problem is, I want to be enough. In my own strength and self-sufficiency, I want to be enough to meet the challenges of the day. That is where the conflict lies.
Am I willing to let God be enough, to fill in the gaps where I fall short, to be my all-in-all, to rest in His working in me?
May He give me the grace to do so.
“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” ~Psalm 90:2
Yes, He is. A good reminder.
Oh, Tracey, I feel so much the same way right now! The needs of those I'm caring for, while a labor of love, do make me feel like I need to be the one who is capable and able and "enough" for every task. Thank you for reminding me that while I am indeed human, our Savior is truly enough for every need and every season. Chris
Yes, He is – and may He continue to grant you the strength to continue to serve!
Not only is He enough, He helps us when we're not enough. When we don't have enough patience with our children, when there's not enough grace in our day, He's there to supply what we're lacking.
By the way, happy birthday! I hope that your day is absolutely wonderful! Remember that calorie consumed on your birthday don't count. 🙂
So true – He's always there to supply what we lack.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!! It was a great day….and I've decided that calories don't count through the birthday weekend either. 🙂
I like how you think! 🙂 Maybe I'll do the same thing next weekend…. 😉
YES!!!! This is such a word for me this week!!!
Thank you so much for this, Tracey. My One Word for this year is ENOUGH so I was immediately drawn to your post from the #Grace&Truth linkup. I too want to remember in those times when I fall short that God is enough for me.
By the way, Happy Belated Birthday!
Blessings!

There's so much truth here, Tracey. The further we plunge into His enough-ness, the more fulfillment we find there. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us at Grace & Truth!
