Sometimes I get discouraged by all I have to do. Sometimes I get upset by all that is happening or not happening, for that matter. Life can leave you feeling hopeless. When these feelings arise, we have to keep in mind, there is unfinished work. “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them” (Hebrews 6:10). We have to have patience. He is still working in our lives.

Oh yes, I can totally relate. I get discouraged as well. I feel that I have to have everything on my ‘to do’ list finished, but my husband says to me, there’s always tomorrow. He’s more used to being retired than I am. I have been a multitasker most if my adult life. It’s hard to disengage from that work ethic, but I’m a work in progress, soooo “… let patience have her perfect work, that I may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:4. God bless,
Susan

So true, Susan. How wonderful that you acknowledge it. I find myself doing the same thing. I always want to get everything done as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can both relax and give ourselves a little break. As always, I appreciate your feedback and wise input. May God bless you also, Zina

He is still working because the Bible said:
“If God is for us, who can be against us?”
