Day 6 Strength

Increase my power, Lord! I don't have much power today.  I can barely get out of bed. But You, O Lord, are mighty and strong. You are healing my body and promise to "increase the power of the weak" (Isaiah 40:29-31).  I need power to renew my energy, to soar above troubles, to run and walk and not grow weary as I mother my small baby and manage my home. God, there are small "instant gratifications" - laundry all washed and put away, clean sink, etc.,-  but most of these daily duties aren't finished for long before they start anew.  Help me to find fresh joy in folding those tiny clothes and washing those little bottles - this season will pass so quickly! I want to soar and not wallow through them, relying on Your help and strength alone. 

Tip:  Get a clear ziplock back for all tiny stray socks and go through them every few weeks to match them up. It's like a puzzle!
