Trusting God in Adversity
Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful. (Proverbs 16:20 NLT)
My beloved child be careful- for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6 KJV). Have you ever been consumed with worry – staying awake at night, thinking, trying to figure out how you are going to make it, how everything is going to work out – allowing fear to creep in and making yourself anxious? Reach for your Bible out of desperation to find a scripture to give you Peace? The enemy has come to attack you with a spirit of fear! The devil is short, toothless, and a liar! The only thing he can do is roar making a lot of noise, yet you listen to Him over Me! Trust Me to provide everything you need! Declare into the atmosphere, and this same God who takes care of me will supply all my needs from His glorious riches, which has been given to us in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:9 NLT) For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (1 Timothy 1:7 NLT) You must discipline yourself to take authority and dominion over the lying spirit that keeps trying to wrap his life draining tentacles in you, whispering in your ear telling you-you’re not going to make it. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy you, but I have come to give you a life with abundance. (John 10:10 KJV)
I am a good Father, and I will take care of you. Trust Me! Instead of carrying this heavy load of burdens, take the first step like Paul advises you ‘Come close to the Lord in prayer and He will come close to you’! (James 4:8 NLT) When you come close to Me, face to face, why don’t you give Me this load you are carrying to resolve it? I didn’t create you to carry heavy loads. Wait for Me to provide you with instructions, I will tell you what to do next, and I provide you with favor and bring resolution to all your concerns. However, you must let go of the load and Trust Me! Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful. (Proverbs 16:20 NLT). Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV) I will fill you with sweet Peace from your head to your toes, but you must decide to Trust Me and not listen to the enemy of your destiny!
