DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. – JOHN 15 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 5 : 20

https://youtu.be/L3jujFhcKeE

“DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. These problems are not random mistakes; they are hand-tailored blessings designed for your benefit and growth. Embrace all the circumstances that GOD allows in your life, trusting GOD to bring good out of them. View problems as opportunities to rely more fully on The LORD. When you start to feel stressed, let those feelings alert you to your need for GOD. Thus, your needs become doorways to deep dependence on The LORD and increasing intimacy between you and GOD. Although self-sufficiency is acclaimed in the world, reliance on GOD produces abundant living in HIS kingdom. Thank GOD for the difficulties in your life, since they provide protection from the idolatry of self-reliance.”

Scripture

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to embrace all the circumstances that you allow in my life, trusting you to weave them together for my good and your glory. Remind me that problems are opportunities to rely more fully on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Are you waiting on something, someone, somehow to happen? Have you surrendered your life to Jesus totally? Remember that even though we don’t see it, God is always at work in the forefront.

DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. – ROMANS 8 : 28, MICAH 7 : 7

https://youtu.be/Xv_WYV9Mw68

“DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. GOD can bring good even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions you have come to regret. This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to GOD. Look to The LORD in trust, anticipating that GOD’S infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad into a lovely design. Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be a source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for other people in their weaknesses. Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on The LORD. GOD is able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust GOD, and watch to see what HE will do.”

Scripture

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. MICAH 7 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for bringing good out of my mistakes. Thank you for your grace and mercy that are new everyday. Help me to accept that I will continue to make mistakes because I’m human and see them as reminders to have humility and grace for others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

DO NOT LONG for the absence of problems in your life. – JOHN 16 : 33, ISAIAH 41 : 13, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

https://youtu.be/A723s0Zuh9Y

“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 equipment is GOD’S living Presence, HIS hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with GOD. Take a lighthearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and GOD together can handle. Remember that GOD is on your side, and The LORD has overcome the world.”

Scripture

“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

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 problems as an opportunity to surrender to you, and depend on you more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is the state you will have if you trust in the world, the world will bring temporary happiness and eternal sorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would have 100% trust in God and God alone……Be Blessed

IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST GOD—really trust GOD—with your whole being, then nothing can separate you from GOD’S Peace. – GENESIS 50 : 20, PSALM 23 : 4

https://youtu.be/tWNd2RPst5U

“IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST GOD—really trust GOD—with your whole being, then nothing can separate you from GOD’S Peace. Everything you endure can be put to good use by allowing it to train you in trusting GOD. This is how you foil the works of evil, growing in grace through the very adversity that was meant to harm you. Joseph was a prime example of this divine reversal, declaring to his brothers: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” Do not fear what this day, or any day, may bring your way. Concentrate on trusting GOD and on doing what needs to be done. Relax in GOD’S sovereignty, remembering that HE goes before you, as well as with you, into each day. Fear no evil, for GOD can bring good out of every situation you will ever encounter.”

Scripture

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. GENESIS 50 : 20 (NKJV)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for using everything I endure for good. Help me to trust you more today, not fearing what’s up ahead because you go before me and are with me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
