Friend, are you experiencing some type of hardship and wondering “why is this happening?” There is hope, my friend, for God sees you and longs to come alongside you. What’s more, God’s power enables believers in Jesus Christ to withstand and overcome hardship.
Friend, it is so easy to become irritated, frustrated, and even disgusted by all the wrongdoing in this world. Rather than allowing our emotions to overwhelm us, let’s turn to Psalm 37 and find hope in God’s Word. This psalm guides us on having an eternal perspective while living in this fallen world.
Friend, what cares and concerns are weighing you down? No matter what they are, please know that you do not have to face them alone. Scripture encourages us to cast all our burdens on the Lord. Let’s learn the importance of doing so by turning to I Peter 5:6-10.
Is God asking something of you that seems impossible? Something way out of your comfort zone? You may be thinking, “How can I possibly do this?” Thankfully, Scripture assures us that His grace is sufficient, for His power is perfected in our weakness.
Are you facing a situation that causes your heart to race leaving you stressed and overwhelmed? Perhaps it is a health issue, financial hardship, relational conflict or even the turmoil in our world. Whatever the situation, Scripture assures us that we can trust God and find rest from stress.
Do you find it challenging to trust God during seasons of waiting and testing? Maybe you tend to get frustrated and want to hurry God’s plans along? Or maybe you hesitate to obey when God asks something of you that makes absolutely no sense? Let’s study the life of Abraham to see how he responds.
The Biblical definition of trust is “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone”. Not knowing the character of God or who He is, may prevent us from fully trusting Him. This described me when I first became a Christian. My life has been a journey of learning to trust God.
