For A Dark Time

There is always reason for hope in God. There is always hope for those who belong to God-even when-especially when there seems to be no way out.

Someone may be saying, "Surely you have never been through what I am going through now".

I have never been through what any other single person has ever been through. I only know my own experiences. But I know this to be true without a doubt: Everything you have ever been through, God was there with you and He is with you now. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Where else would He be?(1 Corinthians 6:19)

The load is gigantic-so, why are you carrying it around? Throw it on the Holy spirit. You can be as light as you need to be if you will allow God to carry the load.(1 Peter 5:6&7)

Get your heart right with God. Tell Him you have a hard time understanding how He can lift Your load in this awful time. We don't have to understand it. We simply have to trust.

2 Chronicles 16:9 says it: “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is [whole] toward him.”

Do you think the Lord's eyes are on you? If yes, then have you confessed your sin? His grace is greater than all of it. His shoulders can carry all your troubles.

Isaiah 41:10   fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Secret time with God? Please find out how precious this time is and how very real God and His love are. Return to Him.

...because He loves you...

...because He loves us...

Father in Heaven,

God, I really want to know how big Your name is and 'hallow' it. Teach me. I want to know Your kingdom in my heart and live like they do in Heaven while I am here. Give me today what I need to do what You have given me to do. I want to forgive with a glad heart. Keep me aware of the enemy.

Vibrant and gleaming God,

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
