You will get through it!

"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you."  Isaiah 43:2.  New Living Translation

This reminds me of when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the hot furnace that King Nebuchadnezzar had placed them in, 'Not a hair on their heads was singed and their clothing was not scorched. They didn't even smell of smoke.'  (Daniel 3:27. NLT). This is just one example of the protection and help that God offers us each day.

It's difficult at times. Life seems to throw up all kinds of things that are determined to maim and rob us of our peace. It can be unbearable and we're tempted to believe that we'll never be able to get through this. Don't forget though, Satan throws darts at us to try and take us out. Therefore, we need to have the shield of faith raised, at all times. (Ephesians 6:16), although we can't blame him for everything that happens. Often, it is just life. But you can bet your bottom dollar, that he's looking for an opportunity to get involved.

God knows what He is doing! He is with us all the time; we just need to trust Him more and more and also, be patient. He's working a way through for us. There used to be a Christian song we sang in church, 

'God will make a way, where there seems to be no way; 
 He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me.'  Copyright 1990 Don Moen

And this is so true. The water may be wide and deep but He's a lifeguard, qualified for saving us and putting us back onto dry land. We won't drown.

What are you struggling with at this time? 
If it's illness? He's the best doctor around and has a great track record at healing people. 
Is it financial worry? He doesn't want you worrying because that will solve nothing. Give it to Him and He'll get you through.
Whether it's, family problems; people problems; work problems, housing problems or whatever else. He is there to help, and you don't need to fill in forms to receive this help. It is there and free. He will make a way through for you. He's promised us:

'Seek the Kingdom of God, above all else and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.'  (Matthew 6:33. NLT)
Bring your problem to Him now:

'Lord Jesus
I need your help with__________________________________________________________
I don't know what to do, but I know that You do; and my eyes are on You. Please help me to get through this situation.  Amen'

Stop being hasty

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity t han one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. And he sins who hastens with his feet.  ...
