Will this weather end?

How many if you struggle with the weather and how it affects your overall body? My joints are struggling with all this snow, rain, cold and gloom. Then because of the pain and soreness my mood gets gloomy. It takes all of me to be motivated in life. I know have to get things done, but I am afraid to overdo it and face the consequences. 

Paul teaches us to remember "I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13. I have to trust this is true. I pray unceasingly for strength. Arthritis is the silent disease. You can't look at me as see the pain. And I don't like walking around telling everyone of my disease. But I can tell God about my struggles. Through this prayer and relationship I receive peace, strength and comfort. He is my comforter. So today I confess I struggle with this weather, but I hold tight to the strength Christ gives me!
