EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Many of us are asking God for help through the trials and tribulations of what we may be experiencing these past weeks. Where does our help come from?
“I’m trying my best to walk in the way of integrity,
especially in my own home. But I need your help! I’m wondering, Lord, when will you appear?” (Psalm 101:2)
Problems seem to come a knocking at our doors even more so during times already escalated by stressors in life.
Sisters whom we love are struggling in the area of needing strength while trying to hold their lives together or their families together, working a job and maybe working at being a full-time mom without any time to spare. It’s all completely tiring, just plain exhausting!
When trouble makes you feel helpless, there is some news to hear with ears wide open to receive! Jesus says, “I have told you all this so that you will have peace in Me. Here on Earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart because I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
How often we sink into the pit of despair when we become overwhelmed and weak. We can all too often give up too quickly.
You are God’s masterpiece, and He will help you.
…The Lord lifts up those of you who are weighed down… (Psalm 146:8)
God is our refuge and strength. He will lift you in due time.  His time is the perfect time. God makes no mistakes. Our decision can sometimes bring about delays, but God works everything together for good when our hearts confess any mistakes we’ve made and seek Him with diligence and a changed heart. ♥️ Please seek Him continually as you make your choices each day and go about your business. If you are in a bind, go to the Word, read it, obey it, and TRUST GOD with what you have on your plate. Communicate your heart to Him through prayer. Seek truth in His never-changing Word.
“From six disasters, He will rescue you; even in the seventh,  He will keep you from evil.” (Job 5:19)
Even on your last nerve, it’s NOT OVER. Go to our Father, run to Him, and release it ALL. He will carry you through anything, despite if it’s your worst storm. He is your help in times of trouble. Do not be afraid.
“I lift up mine eyes to the hills; where does my help come from; my help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heavens and earth.” (Psalm 121:1)
Amen, amen, amen! 🙏
