I’ve heard it said that “discouragement is an occupational hazard of ministry.” I think it is an occupational hazard of life. I have definitely had days where I couldn’t believe the junk I had to endure. Sometimes it was my own stupidity and sometimes I was on the receiving end of someone else’s. Let’s face it, “LIFE CAN BE TOUGH!” If you are in that place right now than read this over and over until you believe it.
“We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it.9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.” 2 Cor. 1:8-10
read it again. and again.
Now get up and get going!
Crushed and overwhelmed is exactly how I’ve been feeling. Thanks for the post
I just came through a time like this; God is FAITHFUL!!!
MORE OF HIM; less of me…
During this time, God engraved this upon my heart:
“Be still and know that I am God.
~ Psalm 46:10
We can TRUST HIM…no matter what.
Excellent post!
It seems like I have been struggling for a while now. I have bounced from place to place since I was 15 and slept in alot of places that were not homes. Ive done alot of things in the past that I regret and I am still doing some things that I shouldnt be doing. Life is not exactly perfect right now but I know that in order to live a good life a person must struggle and suffer to get where they would like to be. I dont know what my calling is or my purpose but I do know that God has a plan for me, and i am ready to fulfill the purpose he has for me. I have been living for me for way too long now and I havent really been focused on living 100 percent for the Lord, more like a 60/40 thing actually. I am now 100 percent ready for EVERYTHING he has in store for me.
