How often I have faced situations of which seems to be no exit or escape! Problems become overwhelming so we can not think of a way to solve them. Has not happened?
It is in those moments when I turn to the Word of God, who tells me: "So glad, though necessary for a time have many problems and difficulties. Because the trust you have in God is like gold: and the quality of gold is tested by fire, the trust you have in God is tested through the problems.
If you pass the test, their confidence will be more valuable than gold, as gold can be destroyed. So when Jesus Christ appears, will speak well of the trust you have in God, because a trust that has been tested very much deserves to be praised. "1 Peter 1:6-7 (BSL)
"So while we go through many difficulties, we are not discouraged. We have concerns, but we will keep quiet. People are chasing us, but God does not abandon us. We're down but not destroy us." 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (New Living Translation)
, "Do not forget to trust God, because only then will receive a grand prize. Be strong, and let no reason to trust when you are suffering, so you can do what God wants and gets what he has promised." Hebrews 10:35-36 (NIV)
I invite you, now, to pray aloud the same sentence as David did for hundreds of years. Our inner self needs to hear this prayer of faith out of our mouths:
"My God, you are my light and my salvation who I be afraid? You protect my life, I have no fears! When my evil enemies attack me and threaten to destroy, are they will stumble, they are the ones that fall.
I can attack an army, but I am afraid I may make war, but I stay calm. My God, I ask only one thing, one thing I want: let me live in your house every day of my life, to behold your beauty and get you in prayer.
When hard times come, you will give me protection, I hide in your house, which is the safest place.
You will give me victory over my enemies, I for my part I will sing praises to your name, your temple and offer sacrifices of gratitude. My God, I'm calling, hear me! Have mercy on me, answer me!
An inner voice tells me: "Look for God!" So I look, my God. I am at your service. Do not hide from me. Do not reject me. You are my help! My God, do not leave me alone, do not forsake me, you are my savior! My parents will abandon me, but you get adopted as a child.
God, because of my enemies want to tell me how to live and lead me in the right direction. Do not let my enemies make me whatever they want. False witnesses rise up, accusing me and threatening me.
But I know that I will live to enjoy your bounty with all your people! That's why I work up the courage, and I say to myself: "Put your trust in God. Yes, put your trust in him!" Psalm 27 (New Living Translation)
My brother, "I am convinced of this: he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
