My Favorite Scriptures To Stand On When I Am Facing Hard Times.

It seems that no matter how hard we try to avoid tough times, it just seems to find us! Especially when we least expect it! Although tough times in life are inevitable, we do not have to go through the tough times alone! The Lord is right there with us ready to help us through them!! All we have to do is cling to the Lord and trust in his love, his goodness, and his faithfulness that he has for us! It is so easy to become distracted by our circumstances that we forget that God is good and that He will, because of his love for us, work everything out for our good (Romans 8:28). Which is why we must cling to God during the difficult seasons in our life so that the Lord can solidify our trust in him to trust him completely with our lives, renew our strength, and give us the courage we need to walk by faith (God's truth concerning our lives) and not by our sight ( our present circumstances).

Because our present circumstances are always temporary, but God's promises for us are eternal! They never change! God will always fulfill his promises in our lives because He is faithful! So lay all of your burdens and the difficulties that you are facing right now at the feet of Jesus in prayer! Even if you have to do this multiple times a day. Especially since the devil loves to remind us constantly about the difficult situations that we face! But we do not have to focus on his negative thoughts and reminders that he brings to our minds! We can take those thoughts captive by casting them down and confessing God's word concerning every negative thought he interjects into our minds (2 Corinthians 10:4-5, New International Version)!We do not have the let the devil boss us around in our minds! We choose to think and meditate on God's word!

So Amazing Woman of God stop worrying and stressing about your present circumstances and make time each day to spend time in the Lord's presence in worship and prayer. So that the Lord can comfort you and strengthen your heart to wait on his goodness to be fulfilled in this difficult season of your life! I know this is not an easy thing to do, but it is worth it! . Do not let the difficulties of this season cause your heart to become hard towards God. He loves you and He will help you through this tough season in your life! You are not alone and you are not helpless! God is right there with you! He will not leave you or forsake you (Hebrews, 13:5, New Living Translation)! He will strengthen you and help you through this and you will come out of this season of your life more in love with Christ than you have ever been in your life (Isaiah 41:10,English Standard Version)! So trust him and let him lead you through this season of your life so that your love and faith in Him will become steadfast and immovable!

Here are some of my favorite scriptures that I stand on when I am facing hard times; I also meditate and pray using these scriptures so that God's truth for my life will settle deep within my heart!
