In This World, You Will Experience Trouble

In This World, You Will Experience Trouble

Abba Father, My God, I rise to this day being thankful and praising You, the Sovereign Lord of All, for never passing me by, nor will You pass my family, my loved ones, and all those for whom I pray constantly. I am aware that we were never promised a trouble-free life, but  it is written that hardship and persecution will come, and those of us who are believers should remain faithful, knowing this is all part of Your knowledge and Your will. Rather than reacting in panic or doubt, asking why me, or being angry with God, and denying the faith. Father, I look to You, Your Son, and The Holy Spirit, so that when adversity, sickness, trouble, and persecution comes I can remain faithful, knowing this is all part of Your knowledge and will. Therefore, as a follower of Christ Jesus, I should feel a sense of peace, knowing that in this world we will have troubles, but we are never forsaken or defenseless. Because You are Our  Way-Maker, Our Defender, Our Burden Bearer, our Great Physician who can heal, Our Strength,  Our Hope, Our Joy, Our Peace, and our Sole Provider. I am thankful that You are in control of everyone and everything. Father, as I ponder the sinful state of the world today, I realize that we are living in a fallen world, and our only hope for eternal life is to take refuge in You and be obedient to the guidance and teachings of the Holy Spirit. Your Word tells us all people are sinful, but You desire all people to turn away from their sins. So, I continue this journey called life, in the name of Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit as my Comforter, my Guide, and my Teacher, knowing we all will have troubles and hardships in this life, Believers or not. But we must be courageous, faithful, and hopeful to no matter what the day brings because our hope is in Jesus Christ who overcame the world. We will overcome the world because the Blood of Jesus has already spoken for us. I love and trust You, Lord with all my heart and soul, and whatever God does is right and good. In Christ Jesus, we are all children of God, through faith, be at peace. Hallelujah, Amen!

John 16:1-4 ESV: “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

Grand Rising! Good Morning to you on this blessed day. Remember, “God does not promise us a life without struggle,  and sickness, as we are called to "pick up our crosses and follow" Jesus according to Matthew 16:24. I am thankful that He does promise to be there for us during those struggles, sicknesses, and the attacks from the enemy. There are many times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed by our struggles, adversities, and attacks from the enemy and his cohorts, and unsure how we can survive them or even thrive without You. Lord, I believe You will fight for us, and You will strengthen and empower us to overcome every trial and every test with integrity and ever-increasing faith. Abundant blessings. Be blessed, do not be distressed, be refreshed, and bask in God’s presence!

FYI: Prayer is free. So was the word of God until man transcribed it from the scrolls putting their twist on it, then it became for sale; this displeases God. We do know right from wrong whether we do it or not, God put it in our hearts before we were born. Please share with those who are open to receiving the word of our Lord and Savior, the way of salvation, and all of God’s blessings.
