Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord

Romans 8:37-39


For Christ

How about looking at things from a different perspective

Thank You Jesus......You did it all for me at Calvary
Thank You Jesus .....You conquered all
Thank You Jesus I can trust your unfailing love and know You can carry me through all my trials and difficulties

Sometimes "self" gets so overwhelmed with "self" that the love, mercy and power of Jesus is overlooked.

He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.


When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.


Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.


His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.


Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

1 Peter 5:7

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

I am praying for you sister!!
 
Allow me if you will to encourage you in The Lord ..all is not lost !
i know when you're there it seems dark and deep ..My validation is as follows..for 12 yrs now I've been a Jester in the kings court,!
Yes that's right a clown for Christ ..travels four states Jesus ,balloons and laughter where I went in that order .
6 yrs into a blessed opurtunity for God ..My wife pulls out.takes it All..my payer partner in the ministry just shelled it all
The night she told me she wwanted a divorce I had to be to work in 30 min making people laugh and be funny...!


You see here's the problem. Laughter and sorrow come form the same place in the heart..You choose. ! Man was that a dark day in my life
i quit the pulpit over it felt God no longer had need of me ..embarrass and dirty a failure utterly...have I hit it yet?
I tell you in Jesus name you are the apple of Gods eye and you have His complete attention ..in Gods word He says He has you're name carved in the palm of His hands and you're trials are always before Him...!I pray for you know that The Lord show peace on you with this knowledge and know that when you get through it you will look back as the nations will and say THIS IS WHAT I WAS SCARED OF.? You're God is bigger than any problem you may have ..yes I'm a real Rev ..but four the last two yrs almost I've been a tent maker.working as a night desk in a motel...you see I'm no longer in professional ministry. I'm where he needs me and it all started with the darkest moment in my life ...! The ministry I'm in now is people ...and God has sent people my way while I healed and now it's all over and life is how it needs to be my faith is stronger than ever I listen for Gods voice now more and I'm less scared to step out of the zone and do what's needed..I tell you don't quit press in to God and give him time to full fill his work in you ...
Hes far from His finished product. And oh yeah I highly recomed the tent maker thing !!..I also changed my prayers from Lord give me work to Lord position me..there is always work God is Looking for people that need to be where He wants them..there and only there will the waters be blessed. Rev

There have been times in my life when I have reached the end of my resources and it feels bad. Life is real and you troubles are not imaginary but being at the end of your own strength is a good place to be if we then turn to god for strength. If we draw from our own well it will run dry; His never runs dry!

The message version of the bible has this translation of a line in the beatitudes, "Your bless when your at the end of your rope, when there's less of you there is more of God."

A good place to start is 'God loves you and has plans for you. Plans to help you not to hurt'. He wants the fullness of life for us, for you.

Draw close to Him!
 
Matthew 6

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I have been there! It was when I really began to seek after God with my whole being that things began to change.

I know it is hard but God has promised I will never leave you or forsake you.

I can say from experience that what He has promised in these scriptures WORKS!


 
Problems are like "I don't care less what your so-and-so boss told you, you just gonna have to deal with it - like it or not." Working outdoors as a casual part-time laborer myself and trying to get the work done is dependent on fine weather that is not too hot or too rainy. When those problems arise, my work is never done on time by the deadline and I have to refresh my mindset and relax while working safely to avoid injury from working in a hurry.
My boss always remind workers to try and get the work done by the deadline, but does not necessarily mean that each and every working day is problem-free during those 8 working hours. So you have to use your mature adult experience that you know that your health and safety rules protect you from these problems no matter what your boss (mother/father, whoever) says you should do by the deadline.
I allow the supernatural health and safety of Jesus in my heart to keep me alive at all times, especially the food I eat and the fluids I drink, such as tap-water where I boil the water and cool it to avoid bad bacteria and viruses from stomach problems, even if I use a tap-water filter device .;*;.
