Together With God Any Difficulty Can Be Worked Out

Friday October 6, 2023
 

If we really want to get well we need to stop using our problems as a means of getting attention, sympathy or pity. 

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:11-12 NIV)

The past cannot be changed.  In our grief over some past events we have allowed the pain to be our foundation for the future.  We must stop using our problems as an excuse to sit on the sidelines of life.  We need to stop wasting time having pity-parties for ourselves.  We need to examine and accept the truth about the life situations that have caused us pain and ask God to heal our wounds and make us whole.  With God all things are possible, and He additionally gives us hope and a future.  When we pray and look around at opportunities God is presenting, we can get excited about our day and where it will lead us.

For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him!  (Isaiah 64:4 NLT)

If trouble should arise God will help us face each situation calmly and with courage.  As we apply God’s principles in each circumstance, we can confidently leave the outcome with Him.  The challenge for us is to trust God when His direction may seem contrary to what we would have Him do.  God knows the perfect way through our difficulties and our principle for life should be to simply trust and obey Him one step at a time and allow Him to lead us forward.

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you.  Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.  Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide me.  (Psalm 143:8-9 NLT)

 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I believe that You have prepared a wonderful day and a good future for me. Together with You, any difficulty I might face can be worked out and overcome. Amen
