The tough need to turn to God
With the economy it’s only getting tougher out there. Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Rape, Violence, break ins, crime is on the rise. So many are having it tough to just get through the week, much less be able to plan for the future at this point. A future that can’t be set in stone for we don’t know what may close or downsize next. The future is unpredictable, but one thing we can all count on is that God is there for everyone that turns to Him.
I’m not just saying this as a quick fix, I can look back at times of troubles that I’ve gone through both by myself, then as a single mother, then as a family, and it’s harder to go through these problems without Him by your side. Being able to talk to Him, to share or give over your burdens, fears and stress; to lift these all up to Him to carry is such a peaceful blessing!
I can think back to crying alone at night, with no one to turn too, no one to listen, no one that I felt would understand what I was going through. Being alone, totally alone like that is one of the hardest things I had to go through. Being able to turn to Him at any time and know that He is there for me, to know that He’ll give me the strength to overcome whatever I’m going through is such a blessing!
It’s hard to hand it all to Him, to stop worrying, to stop stressing, to not look at the bills piling up and wondering how they are going to be paid, to look at your children and not worry and stress how you’re going to feed them. These are all concerns that are very important, and lifting these all up to Him to bare may seem alien to so many. To be able to give up these concerns and not try to control them but giving it to His control is so hard to do, but it can be done! The result is such peace even during the storms that you are going to make it through, even when your mind is telling you it’s impossible, everything is possible with God on your side!
If you are going through tough times, know that you aren’t alone! Not only are so many others going through tough times as well, but God is there for you. Turn to Him, speak to Him, pray to Him, lift up your troubles to Him! It’ll take a lot of faith and even practice to finally give it all over to Him without wanting to grab at least bits and pieces back for yourself to stress over, just know that it takes time to give over to Him full control of it all, but I can promise you the end result is so worth all the effort!
