Strength in Times of Trouble

I woke up this morning feeling worse that I did when I went to bed, sick, achy with a firbro flare up, and diarrhea, weak with the beginnings of dehydration. I found comfort in a short video created by a woman who had  survived an airplane crash.   This video is so inspiring you must check it out! My New Life

I am not my pain and sickness, I still am important and can be of use to God.  So are you, no matter how bad the days get, no matter how much the pain (physical, mental or emotional) hurts.  He is not farther away than a call of help, even if that is all you can utter.  God loves each and every one of us, He lived and died to gives us a future and a hope.  If nothing else hang on to that one thought and do not take your own life, do not let the enemy win! That is what the enemy wants most, you to quit!  It's okay to fall down, but just be sure to get up every time, even if you have to lay there a minute or two first.  Never, Never let the enemy win, for he has come to steal, kill and destroy YOU! John 10:10

Here are some more texts that might help in times of difficulty. 

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Psalm 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
