God's got your back!

When you feel like everything is going wrong and all of your friends have abandoned you, remember that God loves you. He's got your back!

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NLT)

Talk to God

Talking to God won't change Him, but it will change you.  Having a conversation with God can bring encouragement, strength, wisdom, comfort, and an overwhelming peace that only comes through talking with your heavenly Father.  Talk to Him today.  Tell Him everything you've been afraid to tell Him.  He will hear you.

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:12-13

For Good

We make one bad choice that leads to another, that leads to another, that leads to another, and then we feel lost and so far away from God. It's in those moments that He's there loving us through it and waiting for us to look up. The courage is not in how much we struggle on our own but the courage is in how we completely surrender to Him. 

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 ESV)

I Am Strong

"I hear the Savior say, Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all."  (Song: Jesus Paid It All)

Whether it's physical weakness, mental weakness, emotional weakness or spiritual weakness, we must always remember that although we are weak, our God is strong! Take it all to Him today. Take your job situation, your marriage, your singleness, your children, your financial instability, your broken heart and all of your fears to the foot of the cross. Jesus is there to carry those burdens for you.

"..Let the weak say I am strong." -Joel 3:10

Timing!

Timing! Sometimes God allows difficult situations to occur earlier in the week, month, year, or in life in order for you to have the strength and wisdom to walk through present or future situations. Embrace them. God is always on time! Thankful that His time table is not mine!! 

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. (Psalm 28:7 ESV)
