EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
We all have situations that are good and some bad in our lifetime. In many situations in my life, I can look back and say, “Wow, God, I’m so glad you were there for me.”
You may look back at situations in your life where God was there for you too. It’s such a comfort to our souls knowing God intervened. We can look at many stories in God’s Word and see where God was there for others in their lives also.
The truth is, we need to grow so close in our relationship with God that we can say, “I’m so glad, God, that You are here for me right now,” whenever anything hits us with tension!
My relationship with God grows closer each time I pray. I realize how I need Him each moment of the day. Yours will as well. God’s presence enables us to experience unexpected blessings despite what circumstances come. And sometimes they come at us with pain and extreme hurt!
The beauty of praying to Him and having your thoughts in proper perspective on the forefront of your mind with Jesus allows you to be completely aware when God answers your prayers. That’s huge to me. I see Him working now in my life more than ever because I’m so plugged into Him.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-17).
Despite whatever circumstances come your way, understand God was with you in the past, and He is also with you right this minute! God loves you!!! How comforting it is to understand this truth.❤ Please cling to this daily, hourly, minute-to-minute, pray continuously, and “Rest and hope” in Him.
