Do you ever have those times in life where you are in a valley?
Where you know that the Lord is in control
but you have to choose to believe He is.
Where you are not really sure what the future will hold
but you know who holds the future
you just have to entrust it to Him.
Today I am writing asking for prayer.
A situation has come up
and while glorious healing and forgiveness has
already taken place
there is one more thing that needs to be done.
And we have no idea how it is going to turn out.
Please pray.
And yes I am still engaged just for those who would worry about that :)
Today I have been struggling with what if's.
Last night I did too.
Today however I went right to the Lord in prayer and then
dove into His Word.
Whoever things God's Word is not powerful and does not speak-
they don't know our amazing God!
Here are some promises that the Lord has given me today:
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
(Joshua 1:9)
"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
(Hebrews 12:11)
"I will never leave you or forsake you."
(Hebrews 13:5b
*In an evangelistic meeting in Ireland, the speaker was explaining to what it means to abide in Christ and to trust Him completely in every trial. Concluding his message, he repeated several times, "It means that in every circumstance you can keep on saying, 'For this I have Jesus.'
If you are enduring a great trial of affliction, remember-for this you have Jesus!
-Henry G. Bosch
"To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
(Isaiah 61:3)
"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain"
(1 Corinthians 15:56-58)
" Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
(Ephesians 3:20-21)
I just read this quote:
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” – Corrie Ten Boom
We truly do serve an AMAZING God!
And I know that He will give grace to get through these next few days.
Please pray for healing and also that
Jesus Christ will be honored and glorified
no matter what the outcome.
