“Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Nehemiah 8:10 NIV

We are not here to do this life alone.  God created us for relationship with Him…He is greater than anything in this world and with Him we can overcome anything we encounter.  If you think to yourself, I don’t have the strength…you were not made to have the strength to do life alone.  Surrender to Jesus, He is alive, He is with you and His Joy can be your strength.

“The Lord is my strength and my defense^[a];
    he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”

Exodus 15:2 NIV
