“DO NOT LONG for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal, since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth. Begin each day anticipating problems, asking GOD to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipping is GOD’S living Presence, GOD’S hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with The LORD. Take a light hearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and GOD together can handle. Remember that The LORD is on your side, and HE has overcome the world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33
“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13
Prayer: God thank you for your perfect plan. You have placed in me a deep desire for a problem free life because that’s the way Heaven is – my true home. But in the meantime help me to see every problem as an opportunity to learn to surrender to you, to depend on you more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
