25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

– Psalm 73:25-26, 28

There are days or seasons when chronic illnesses flair and you feel you are running on empty or swimming in quicksand struggling to keep you head up and just survive.

I am so grateful in those moments or seasons I have a source of strength, a deliverer and refuge in my Abba God. That I can rest in Him and His strength.

When I am feeling a need for the strength and help God offers I go to His Word and listen to worship songs that encourage. The first couple are older ones while the last couple are newer.

Yet Will I Praise Thee:

The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. – Exodus 15:2
