When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 41:2

Have you ever felt like the hard times were never going to stop? Like things just keep piling on top of one another and it seems to be just one thing after another? It’s hard to see God through those times. It’s hard to see God through a challenging period of your life. Whether it’s a financial problem, relationship problem, friendship or family problem, life can be really hard. Well, what should we do in those times? We do have options. We can lay in bed cry all day, let your negative thoughts take control, get into those self destructive habits of smoking or drinking, or both, or you can pray. You can literally just pray. You can pray while your on your bed crying, in the back of your house smoking, while contemplating taking another drink. (Maybe don’t do that.) Just go to God. He has all the answers and He is ultimately the strongest force in the universe. Yes, stronger than little ol’ you, stronger than any President, or King, or dictator, or government, or anyone or anything. He will give you strength to keep moving during those hard times. Just wanted to encourage anyone who is feeling stuck. You got this. Keep one foot in front of the other. Keep making one better decision than the next, and keep praying for God to give you strength. Just keep going…
Have a blessed week.
