I just can’t do this
I just can’t do this
Jesus, You have to help me through this
‘Cause I just can’t do this anymore
I wake up
The same as yesterday
Nothing ever changes
At least that’s what they say
I struggle through the day
Watch the world through this heart of clay
I am getting older
And this heart is getting colder
‘Cause love, it is compressed
And cannot have its say
I just can’t do this
I just can’t do this
Jesus, You have to help me through this
‘Cause I just can’t do this anymore
I wake up
The same as yesterday
Time, it keeps on ticking
And life, it’s out to play
As tears wash dreams and smiles away
I must before Your feet needs lay
I need You O I need You
Each breath draws me closer to
The One who is my life
The One who cleared the way
O I just can’t do this
But Jesus leads me through this
I just can’t do this
When I do it without Him
When I do it without Him

Loved it! I remember praying desperately to God once. I kept saying, “Help me! Help me! I can’t do this. Help me!” I actually heard God speak to my heart–not audibly, but yet he was clearly speaking. He said, “I WILL help you. But you are the one who will do it.”

Thank you so much for sharing Kathleen … how beautiful that He answered your cry. He hears our cry. As many have said and will continue to do so … sometimes He answers us with something so different from our actual prayer. We never know on what blessing our answer will arrive, sent from heaven with love. Sometimes it’s right in front of us; but our circumstance/trial ‘blinds’ us and we allow it to hamper the actual receiving of His gift.

I, too, suffer from a chronic illness, Sweet Friend. This was so touching, and much needed. You amaze me, Love.

Sometimes I think one truly doesn’t comprehend what ‘take up your cross and follow Me’ really implies. In fact I don’t think we’ll ever understand until we see Him face to face … and even then all may not be revealed. You are a dear Sister in more ways than one Skye … praying strength and joy for you xxxx (Another ballet booked and unseen … hope my precious girls have a beautiful time though).

Thank you Robyn … yes it’s personal; but I am praying it will touch lives in which there is much struggle, hopelessness, fear. Chronic illness often leaves one doubting; but I am so thankful that He is always with me. Such comfort. I don’t doubt Him. I doubt myself. He is immutable. All loving. All giving. Forever the Lord. The Great Physician.
