Be Encouraged

Don't stop...Never Quit

When the storms of life are raging how will you respond. Will you run and hide? Will you lose all hope? Will you become defiant and angry at God? The choice is up to you, but the consequence is not. Life is very difficult and in times of chaos, discontentment, disappointment and suffering, we have to continue to move forward. Life goes on whether we stop or go. We hurt ourselves when we let life get the best of us. Its okay to have a temporary setback. When it goes on too many days, that is when the real problem will begin. You will look up months later and find yourself in a place of hopelessness and despair. These are times in which prayer is so important. It is the gateway to life. Scripture tells us “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened for I will give you rest.” Matt 11:28. We have to come to God first before going to anyone else. He is the only one that will truly be able to help in our deepest pain and in our darkest moments. Don’t allow the enemy to whisper lies about God’s love and concern for you. We can’t begin to comprehend the love that God has for us, but we have to give Him a chance to show us.

A prayer for you… “Father let your light shine bright, so I can see you in the darkness. I have found myself in a place that only you can bring hope, healing and restoration. I am in need of something very specific and I know nothing is too hard for you. Bring me to a place of surrender, help me realize I can’t do this alone and not without you. Give me peace and all that I need to make it through. Help my soul find rest in you. I believe, but please help my unbelief. Father watch over me and protect me. In your name I pray Amen…

Blessings,
