Please help me. My purpose is for Christ.
"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven." Matthew 5:16
May I peel myself up off the pavement when I've been ran over, and bring Glory to YOU!
Everyone will see struggle in their life. I'm struggling.
May I be faithful to what you've called me to walk through.
Instead of giving me what I want,...please help me align my heart to YOUR will.
He is WITH me...never to leave me, never to forsake me.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deut 31:6.
He is always willing to help, if I just ask him for it.
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble ." Ps 46:1
"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives." Jas 4:3
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matt 7:7
Its not just that God knows what I will do in my trials..
He TRUSTS me to go through this trial, to bring Him glory.
What an honor!
He knows me better than I know myself. When I feel broken, He knows me better.
"A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;" Matthew 12:20
This is a spiritual battle....so I need to continually put on my armor!
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. " Eph 6:10-20
"For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light." Psalm 56:13
