disCOURAGEd

 We had a lovely day with friends (and my favorite kind of peaceful rainy day naptime) but I have a lot on my mind.
Doesn't it seem like upsetting situations always pop up in 2s or 3s or 4s?
All of them beyond my control, all of them discouraging in different ways but none of them beyond the encouragement of Scripture.
The verses I'm thinking about right now:
Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 26:3-4
 3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
