I know you are facing personal challenges and obstacles that appear impossible to overcome. You have uncertainty and have worries that are overcoming you with anxiety, sorrow, and total discouragement. You can’t sleep, and focus on anything except the destruction that is before you. You do not know what to do, because you are scared.
Do you think you woke up this morning on your own? People invest in themselves with healthy eating and exercise, thinking ll these efforts and foods will keep them alive and live a longer life. Its everywhere you look today. You fool! Open your heart and mind to the truth and reality of the Word of God, and understand you woke up this morning, because of God’s mercy. It’s God’s mercy that gives you life and the ability to move each and every day. Nothing else. It is God that keeps the beat in your heart and the air in your lungs.
Let me remind you God loves you more and greater than anyone and anything on this earth, and uses every situation in your life to show His presence. Think about this. Embrace this. Why do you share your dark valley with friends, family, and others, but not with God? Why are you doubting your Father in Heaven, your King, your Maker, your friend, and your God. Pray now, pray, and pray again constantly. Your circumstances, your burdens, your valleys are His.
Your God in Heaven is waiting for you to give these burdens to Him. Use your free-will to cry out to God. Give Him praise and acknowledge Him as your Lord and Savior. Call out to your Divine Holy Spirit that lives in your soul, and ask for wisdom, counsel, understanding, and direction. Whether its a scream or whisper, God hears you.
You were already known by God before you were conceived, and came into this world. God loves you more, and is waiting for you to come to the Him with everything weighing on your heart, mind, and your being. Give to God your absolute faith and trust no matter how inconsistent you are living day to day. God is consistent, and will never let an opportunity pass without His presence.
God is not looking for a performance, but instead is yearning for a relationship with you.
Why does God allow this hardship, grief, and disaster in your life? Why! The answer is simple: to draw you closer to Him, to let His Presence and Glory be revealed to you and others, and to make you finally come to the realization you need God. Your faith is tested and the weight of your burdens is expected to build strength in you and to trust in the Lord. How many times will you turn your head way from God? You fool. How much longer and how many more valleys will it take to make you give up on this world and place all your trust and faith in Jesus Christ?
You call yourself a “Christian,” but the words from your mouth and actions say the opposite. You’re a contradiction only days from entering the abyss of hell, because you placed your faith and trust in your own self-preservation. Fool! Why are you keeping one foot in this world? Look! Look! Look at the countless stars and galaxies in the midnight sky. God chose you.
So… its time to pray and cry out to your Father in Heaven. Its time to let go the reins of this world and walk a new path in Jesus Christ. Turn away from the world theologies, the coexistence, the compromise, and stop listening to your feelings. The enemies of Satan want you to feel discouraged, give up on hope in Christ, and disregard God as a waste of time. Do not listen to this world. Do not give Satan victory. Ground yourself steadfast in full assurance of God’s mercy and grace. Grab this now. Embrace it. Harness it, and never let go.
God can change your world today, tomorrow, and forever. Bow your head, close your eyes, focus all your mind and strength on Him. Speak to God. Ask for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, and give you direction, assurance, and peace. God will always respond with a yes, no, or wait. Pray and ask for confirmation. Wait on God. Do you not know you have the power by God’s authority to overcome the enemies that haunt you everyday?
I know what pain and desperation can do to the soul. You’ve had enough, and now you want to give up. The valley is so deep and dark, and you see no light of hope. Nothing. You feel God abandon you. Life is over.
No.
Get up and go outside and look up high to the sky. God is real. God is here. God loves you. Call out to him with no conditions. Surrender everything in you, and fall to your knees. Ask, and ask again. You must be patient. Do not let the enemy win. You can do this. You can breakthrough to the other side where God is waiting at the door to embrace you and take over for you.
Amen.
