HOPELESSNESS

When things look impossible and you feel all alone - I can "vouch for GOD"! I can tell you from personal experience (we've been through 2 hurricanes, 8 surgeries, mild autism, separations, addictions, homelessness TWICE, the loss of 8 close loved-ones in less than 10 years, and the list goes on...
If you TRUST GOD and run TO Him instead of away from him in despair or anger when things get tough - you will find out how tough HE is and how tough YOU CAN BE with His help! Things may look hopeless 'til the last second but if you strive to put Him first and ask for His help and have COMPLETE faith in HIM - he will see you through - sometimes it may be at the last minute - ('cause everything is in HIS timing - NOT YOURS) but He will come through in the end and He will use what was meant for your harm for GOOD! So for all of you going through a tough time right now - hang in there - HE loves you and wants nothing more than to help you and we love you too!!! - God Bless! -
Matthew 14: 29 - 31: Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
In this passage it teaches us to realize and remember that when the storms of life come and things look impossible, the only way we will drown is if we don't hold on to and trust in the Lord - If we have faith in Him He will NEVER let us drown!!!
Dear Lord!!! PLEASE hold our hand when we step out trusting you during the storms of life! We ask that you give us peace beyond understanding despite any and all circumstance. Even though things can often LOOK impossible in the natural - we trust COMPLETELY in You Lord - Your WISDOM, Your POWER and Your LOVE for us - Your children!!! IJN - AMEN!!!
If you get a sec - ck out our first original recorded/copyrighted song on You Tube that the Lord Blessed us with. Just go to You Tube's search box and type in "Dear God by Benevolence" - we hope the pictures inspire you to reach out and BE His hands and feet and arms outstretched with love and to NOT tire of doing good! We pray that the lyrics give you a lift if you are going through difficult circumstance! (we have definitely BEEN THERE and STILL ARE but God IS good ALL THE TIME!!!

  • Thanks Janice! We count on THAT - EVERY day lately (literally)!
  • Suffering seems to be a filament in the communication wiring God uses to get through to us. We can't keep from noticing suffering. It gets our full attention. I can not understand how or why anyone would choose to push God away when they are going through suffering. God got our attention with the suffering of Jesus on the cross for our sinfulness. God's word tells us to be thankful in all things and I find it a blessing to be able to be thankful through suffering. Thank you, Wendy, for your encouragement! I know you will always be blessed through and throughout your difficult circumstances! God is good ALL THE TIME as you said!!!
