God is on your side! He is still in control! No matter what you're going through!

Sometimes when things seem so hard, we come up with all sorts of reasons why our situation will never get better. But the truth is this: God already has an answer for whatever excuse we can come up with in our times of difficulty.

When we say, "I'm afraid." Jesus says, "Do not be afraid" (Matthew 28:10), "I have not given you a spirit of fear" (2 Timothy 1:7).

When we say, "I’m all alone.” Jesus says, “I am with you always, even until the end of times” (Matthew 28:20).

When we say, “It’s impossible, I can never get through this situation.” Jesus says, “What is impossible for human beings is possible for God” (Luke 18:27).

When we say, "I’m just too tired.” Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

When we say, “I don’t have the strength to go on.” God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Corrie ten Boom used to say, “When the train goes through a tunnel, and the world gets dark, do you jump out? Of course not! You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through.” Well, that’s what we need to do when our world gets dark. Be still and trust God!

The way to deal with discouragement, disappointment, hurt, failure, sorrow, and uncertainty, or whatever life dishes us is to trust Creator God! He has the answer to every challenge you face. God is still in control! In Jeremiah 32:27, God says:

 I am the Lord, the God of every person on the earth; nothing is impossible for me!

You need to hear that God is still in control.  It would help you tremendously if you believe that life’s mishaps and tragedies are not a reason to bail out on God. You need to believe that it’s not over until God says so.

 My good friend, God has not given up on you! Trust Him regardless of your circumstances, and let Him work it out! God is on your side! He is still in control!

 Pray this prayer by faith:

 Thank you, God, for revealing to me that You are the God of all humanity, and that nothing is Impossible with you.

 Lord Jesus, help me to trust You, no matter what I’m going through. Take control of every situation and send me relief. Give me the strength, stamina, wisdom, and every resource I need to get through whatever I cannot handle myself. Take control of my life, in Jesus' name! Amen!
