Life at times can be so hard and difficult.

April 5, 2024

Life at times can be so hard and difficult. During those times, a lot of us have begged God for help, wisdom, knowledge, strength, and even a miracle or two. We have, even gone so far, as to bargain with God saying, “I will do this if you will do that for me!” Some of the things we bargain with God are receiving a large sum of money, being healed from a disease—whether it is a loved one or yourself, helping you in a relationship, or even getting a new job. As time goes on, and the begging has not helped. We resigned our self, to the situation, asking God for courage and help to get through whatever it is we are going through. Here is the thing, no matter what is transpiring in your life—whether you like what is occurring or not, God is with you. Today, try to let go of that situation, turn it over to God, let go and let God—for He will give you the strength and courage you need. Deuteronomy 31:6 says, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you.” God Bless. Amen.
