Questions

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:7 NKJV

When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But rather a special sort of "No answer." It is not a locked door. It is more of a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, "Peace, child; you don't understand." - C. S. Lewis

God has done so much.

1Ch 16:8 Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

God has done in my life that I don't even know where to begin when giving thanks to Him. Recently I am most thankful for the strength that He has given me to get through hard times. He has been faithful to me and He has shown me His constant love for me. He has disciplined me, but He has done it in love.

God I thank you for Your discipline. You make me stronger and allow me to be filled with joy. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Persevere

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. --Galatians 6:9 NKJV

Be Thankful

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
- I Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV

We can thank God first...in every situation...Because every problem we encounter comes with His provision attached to it.God has a plan and a purpose for us. Not only that...but He works everything together for good for those who love Him.That promise is a deep well of provision for us to draw from. Whatever calamity life throws at us, God can use it for our blessing and our benefit. Think a little on that and you will see the goodness of God at work.
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."- Romans 8:28 NAS. It is that attribute of God's nature that makes it so critical for us to come to a place of thanksgiving. By entering into His presence in the midst of the problem, He can act on our behalf. Our heart may be all over the place, but there is a central place of truth where we can gather in the goodness of God.........................Time to trust.

Christ's Love

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8

Eventually

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Rev 21:4

Trust God Completely

Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart;
don't try to figure out everything on your own. Proverbs 3:5 -Message-

As we learn to trust God we worry about things less. When we stop questioning things that we can't understand and simply ask God to help us trust Him then bit by bit we begin to enjoy a new sense of freedom. Trusting God from the bottom of your heart takes time. It's not something you're expected to do right away, but if you take the time to learn about God and each day make an effort to trust Him more and more then you will see the benefits that that trust brings. Ask God to show you a benefit of trusting in Him today.

God is with us

Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.

God is with us constantly. God is everywhere. He is present in everything we do.

2 Cor 5:17

Daily we are becoming a new creation due to our relationship with Jesus. It is because of Him that we are set free from our old ways of living and are able to step into new life. He is the one that makes us holy and continues to take away the old and replace it with new. Praise Jesus.

God Helps the Righteous

He who walks righteously and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil - this is the man who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him. Isaiah 33:15-16

Prayer Brings Victory

Luke 18 1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "
6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

I've seen this be true time and time again. And prayer had just brought me the greatest victory I've ever faced before. I know that sometimes it's hard to keep in that attitude of persistence, but sometimes we need to stay in that attitude.

God Hears

Psalm 116:6 The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.

God answers when you need Him.
