In high school I was a big fan of a band called Reliant K. One of their songs, “For the Moments I Feel Faint” has become a refrain of comfort in my life for seasons of difficultly. You can read some of the lyrics below:

I throw up my hands

Oh the impossibilities!

frustrated and tired

where do I go from here?

Now I'm searching for the confidence

I've lost so willingly

Overcoming these obstacles

Is overcoming my fears Ohh

Never underestimate my Jesus

You’re telling me that there's no hope

I'm telling you you’re wrong

Never underestimate my Jesus

Cause when the world around you crumbles,

He will be strong.

He will be strong.

We started this week by talking about Easter and how Christ's work on the cross was done out of his love for us. Christ has fought the greatest battle and won. Even death could not defeat Him. Whatever battle you are facing, whatever trial or hardship, God sees it and is holding you through the pain. Jesus will see you through – never underestimate his love for you or his power over sin and death!

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging…. The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” - Psalm 46: 1-3,7
