Description

What can you do when you can't hack it at work?

When you just can't get it done?

When you hit the wall?

Sometimes our limitations surprise us. But they aren't a surprise to God. The Bible tells us that "he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust" (Psalm 103:14 ESV).

In God's compassionate embrace, we find that we can be compassionate toward ourselves, even (and especially) on our worst work days.
