“LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with GOD, gain confidence from your knowledge that together with GOD, you can handle anything. This knowledge is comprised of three parts: your relationship with GOD, promises in the Bible, and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times. Look back on your life, and see how GOD has helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, “Yes, but that was then, and this is now, ” remember who GOD is! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, GOD remains the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In GOD’S Presence you live and move and have your being.”
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10
But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27
“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28
Prayer: Lord this life can be really hard, but I gain confidence knowing that you are always with me, for me, and the power that raised Jesus from the dead is in me. Thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
