Isn’t it funny how things can be going

Isn’t it funny how things can be going along so smoothly then all of a sudden life becomes hard and difficult.

Isn’t it funny how things can be going along so smoothly then all of a sudden life becomes hard and difficult. You just want to say, “Come on, this is ridiculous. Why is it so hard, can I please just get a break?” Life has moments of great joy and moments of pain and sorrow. Life ebbs and flows, there are times of happiness that are accented by times of frustration and heartache and there is nothing you can do, accept trust in God to see you through. I have found that people of faith handle life better than those who do not believe. Faith is our lifeline to God. When we rely upon the LORD God Almighty to give us the strength and courage we need to get through a painful moment, we are better able to function and cope through life’s difficulties. For God alone, gives you the peace to calm your aching spirit. Romans 8:6 reads, “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Today, no matter what you are experiencing turn to God—He will help you! God Bless. Amen.
