Have you ever?

Have you ever lost a loved one? Have you ever been let down and dissapointed by someone close to you? Have you ever got your heart broken? Have you ever seen your hopes and dreams crumbling down because maybe you got fired? Have you ever thought of getting out of an addiction and you seem unable to? Have you ever hurt someone so bad they don't ever want to see you again?Have you ever been on the verge of giving up?
Most of us fall in these categories when it comes to the struggles we have had to overcome in our lives.

I have to ask during those times:
Have you ever sat down and listened to the small still voice in you trying to push you on? Have you ever got on your knees and whisper a prayer to God? Have you ever tried opening the bible and get the verses that relate to your situation instead of calling up a friend? Have you ever thought for a minute that God had written your life even before you were born and nothing surprises Him? Have you ever stayed still and let your faith grow and not be in a hurry to find a solution to remove the pain?

Most of us during these times we turn to a quick remedy to take away the pain, we turn to alcohol, unhealthy relationships, drugs. Whatever you turn to God is reminding us that:

2 Corinthians 4:8-9: We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Psalms 4:8: I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord only makest me dwell in safety.

Psalms 31:24: Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

So, have you ever been told that God cares for you and He will never leave you nor forsake you? Have you ever been told that He will finish the good work He began in you? Have you ever been told that God will always put back the pieces of your broken heart if you let Him? Have you ever been told that if you place your burdens on Him He will carry them for you?

I am telling you and reminding you today that no matter what you are going through He is with you all you have to do is to trust Him and let Him lead you to a new chapter in your life.
