Lord, what do you want me to:

2. Say- speak to, speak about, encourage, admonish or correct.

Be Strong and Do the Work
“As for you, Solomon, my son, keep near to your father’s God. Be happy to serve him faithfully in every way. The Lord knows what you are thinking. He understands all your thoughts. If you turn to him, you will find him. But if you turn away from him, he will leave you alone for ever. You must realize that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple to be his special home. Now you must be strong! Do this work.’” – 1 Chronicles 28:9-10 EASY
1. You have to be strong when you don’t feel strong. Your strength will come as you act upon what you’re supposed to do.
2. You have to do what only you can do and rely on God to do the rest.
3. You must realize that your strength doesn’t come from how you feel, it comes from who God is. It’s not about what’s surrounding you, it’s about Who’s surrounding you. It’s not a matter of feelings, it’s a matter of faith. It’s not a matter of quitting, it’s a matter of digging deep.
