Contributing Writer and Prayer Team
Karin is a handmaiden of the Lord, saved by grace, a worshiper, a poet, a broken heart, a lover of words, His work in progress on the Potter's wheel. She is hungry for truth and amazed by love. After five years in Africa, Karin and Rick (her beloved husband of twenty years), are back in rural Canada where chronic pain drives her to the feet of Jesus. She is powered by prayer, love, and many cups of strong coffee. She is the author of From Ashes to Glory (A Psalm a Day).
Does it upset me that things seem to grow more difficult with each passing day? Of course! Yet, weak or strong, God's strength is sufficient. Instead of dwelling on my inability, may I always remember that He can do all things, even through one as weak as me.
!["The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him."

God is always working in our lives turning troubles into blessings. Even wasps and their stings can be blessings in disguise.
Just like the rosebush was freed to thrive, we are truly freed by the Lord's loving but firm hand. Growing wild or free? What is your choice?
We may not be Olympic or Paralympic athletes, but we’re all running a race. God promises to run beside us. So we pray, God help us try again.
