66. Strength
It’s only the middle of the third week of school, and I feel really overwhelmed and burned out. There are good days and worse days, but OT school has proved to be more challenging in ways I did not expect. The amount of work involved seems to never end. The expectations the teachers have of us seems unreasonably high sometimes. I’ve doubted myself and am not sure if I’m qualified enough to be here. It’s been a tougher three weeks of adjustment that I thought. And sometimes, like right now, all I feel like doing is complaining and whining. But I know in my head that I have so much to be grateful for and nothing to complain about. There are a lot of things I’m loving and learning about, but my body tells me I’m tired.
God, I need Your strength. My tendency is to try to do this on my own, but I can’t do this without You. Change my attitude, my heart, and my perspective.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.Psalm 73:26
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
