God Give Me Grace

Are you going through a stressful situation where you have prayed and asked God to deliver you? It may be a bad financial situation, an ongoing health issue, a bad relationship or marriage, a stressful job, or even a church that you feel that you want to leave, but have to wait on God to release you. Your stressful situation could be any of the above, or others not mentioned here. However, you may wonder if God has all the powers why are you still going through it. Notwithstanding, it is perfectly okay to wonder.

The Apostle Paul spoke of being conceited because of a greatness that was revealed to him in a vision. As a result, a thorn was given to him in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass him, to keep him from becoming conceited. He pleaded with the Lord three times for it to leave him. But the Lord said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul stated that, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

Consequently, you will have to wait on God’s will and timing to answer your prayers. On the other hand, while you are waiting, you may become frustrated and impatient as you are only human. This is the moment when you should stop and refresh yourself, and say, “God give me grace.” He will give you the grace to endure, until he delivers you.

Why Worry When You Can Pray?

The thought of worry may be the first thing that comes to mind when you are facing difficult times in your life. As human, it is natural to experience different emotions when you are faced with difficulties in your life. However, if you allow God to take control; he will guide you in the right directions. Therefore, cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved (Psalm 55:22).

There may be anxious thoughts that flood your mind as you navigate the difficult situations in your life; but anxiety will only allow you to be stressful and lose focus in moving forward. You should instead cast all your anxieties on the Lord because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).

“The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble” (Thomas Watson).

We all experience difficulties, problems, and trials throughout life. Usually, we also look for ways to solve those problems. All of the various solutions basically ask one of these two questions: “What can I do to solve this?” Or, “What can God do to solve this?”

In other words, we either try to solve the problem on our own, or we let God solve it. Obviously, it is much wiser to give your problems to God.

Therefore, in the midst of your problem, Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Trust God to solve your problems. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal (Isaiah 26:4).

During your trials you should frequently quote Psalm 91:2: I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Furthermore, when you’re truly trusting in God, there is nothing to worry about. Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me” (John 14:1).

Make this your cry: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God(Psalm 20:7).

Trust the Lord God Almighty in every area of your life, even during problems, because every problem gives you an opportunity to trust God.

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Are you feeling like you’re at your wit’s end? Well, I bet as human being, everyone has their wit’s end moment. Notwithstanding, some people press forward, knowing that the best is yet to come; while others roll over and play dead.

If you’re at your wit’s end today, which choice will you make? Will you press forward, knowing that the best is yet to come? Or will you roll over and play dead?

If you chose the latter, you will not be able to function mentally or emotionally. Moreover, you will also have everything turning topsy-turvy in your life. When you are confused and disoriented, you can’t think straight. As a result, you don’t have the mental and spiritual energy to press forward. That’s why you have to try your best to keep it together, in order to see the outcome of the Lord’s promises in your life.

Having done this, you should hold on a little longer and take Jesus by His Words, because He never fails. Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with you; He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord (1 Chronicles 28:20).

The best is yet to come!
