When You Can't Catch Your Breath | Debbie Taylor Williams

Do you ever feel like you “can’t breathe” because you have so much weighing on you?

Or maybe you’re running so fast through each day you feel like you “can’t catch your breath.”

Have you ever felt you “had the breath knocked out of you” because of financial, physical, emotional, or relational blows.

What can we do if we experience any of the above?

We can turn to our Heavenly Father.

Isaiah 42:5-6 says, “Thus says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it, I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, and I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations.”

What comforting words. God gives us His breath and His spirit so we can walk through our day. He holds us by the hand and watches over us. He has appointed us as a light to the nations.

Our identity, comfort, and purpose are God-breathed.

In difficult days when you are trying to “catch your breath,” hold your Bible close to you. Breathe deeply of the Spirit.

LORD, thank You for GIVING BREATH and Your Spirit to me. Use me as a light to the nations.
