lately I am experiencing the hardest challenge of my life, i think, so far.
It causes deep pain and sadness.
i don't fully understand why it's all happening to me. why me?
it's so hard to accept the things you think you don't deserve.
my past failures keeps on knocking on my mind and telling me that i can't do anything.
i think too much of my past failures. i have fearful thoughts about my future.
all those things are inevitable, we cannot escape trials and problems in this world.
if we are not strong enough, we will easily give up.
there is a good news, despite every circumstances we are facing or going to face,
God is our hope.
we may not always fully understand His ways and keep on asking question why.
but He is Almighty God, who knows everything and who is so good.
He will surely provide a way out no matter what we are going through.
He also reminded me of His Promises. His Saving Power, His Grace, His Protection.
His promises that never fails because He will surely fulfills it.
also, His Word gives me hope.
these verses encouraged me during my difficult times.
1 Corinthians 10:13
but God keeps His promises, He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, He will give you strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.
Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess,
because we can trust God to keep His promises.
Isaiah 40: 29-31
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
yesterday i started listening to this song, which is related to my present situation.
Let Go
by Abandon
V1
You could count the times that everybody’s hurt you
And build a wall so nobody can get through
But nothings gonna change if you keep doing the same things
You could shoulder all the weight and try to do it on your own
Chorus
Or you could let go of all these things you hold
You could let go and watch your life unfold
Your part of a grand design
Bigger than what you had in mind
But you’ll never know, you’ll never know
Until you let it go
V2
So take a step back widen out the picture
And see the world through the eyes of the savior
Cause when we focus on ourselves there is nothing we can give
But when we lose it all we start to live
You got a front row seat but your never gonna see the show
Chorus 2
Until you let go of all these things you hold
You gotta let go and watch your life unfold
Your part of a grand design bigger than what you had in mind
But you’ll never know, you’ll never know
Until you let it go
Bridge
You gotta let it go, oh let it go
Let go, let go, let it go
"Our past is a part of who we are and who we have become in the Lord. Even some of the bad things in our past have been used by God to shape, mold, and transform us into the kind of person He wants us to become in Him."
"God fulfills His Promises.
this truth can be our strength and comfort in time of anxiety and suffering. "
i know God will never leave me. i believe He will help me. nothing is impossible.
Ah, Lhen, this was a beautiful post. I don't know exactly what you're going through right now, but I'll be praying for you tonight. May you grow even deeper into this faith in God's sovereignty, and His great love. Christ spilled His blood to buy us sinners - truly, He loves us. Praying you would be given a peace that passes understanding... <3
