When life does not go your way. When

When life does not go your way.

September 20, 2024

When life does not go your way. When you experience a series of problems, heartaches, or disappointments, it is easy to feel like the world is against you. When life is going your way, it is easy to feel on top of the world and that nothing can or will go wrong. Life is life. Life is filled with wonderful moments, and then there are times that it is almost impossible to keep putting one foot in front of the other. How you handle life’s difficulties is the key. When you let life get in the way it can create a mood of hopelessness, helplessness, and despair. What you need to do when life is difficult is to go to God. Keep your eyes focus on God through prayer, meditation, reading the scriptures, and listening to Christian music. Because you cannot worry while focusing on God. So, focus upon the LORD. Philippians 3:15 reads “So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision – you’ll see it yet!” God is there. He will give you the strength, courage, and yes hope to keep putting one foot in front of the other. And with God on our side how can we fail. It is something to remember. God Bless. Amen.
