Are you tired? There is rest!
Are you overwhelmed? There is help!
Are you discouraged? There is comfort!
Are you hurting? There is grace sufficient
to get you through!
All this and more can be found in Jesus Christ
alone.
Any help outside Jesus is worthless and
lifeless so then cast all your burdens to Jesus for He cares. Tell it all to
Him in prayer for He cares. It may seem as if the Lord does not hear or care
because you have prayed about it over and over. You have done all you could do
and yet no help is found for you.
I cannot promise you anything but I can
only remind you of the promises of God so that your faith may be lifted.
1.
You are not the only one. I
know that this is not comfort but it is the truth, every believer faces trials
and challenges but thanks be to God who leads us in triumphant procession.
2.
God loves you more than anyone
and anything can. God is compassionate and caring. This is His love that while
we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
3.
God is there with you. The Lord
is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms
34:18
He says if you go through
the waters & fire, He is also there.
4.
It is not over yet. What is
impossible with man is possible with God meaning with God there is no dead end
or checkmate. God is able to do exceedingly above, beyond and more than we can
expect or think
If God can do all things then why am I still suffering?
This is the
question on many people’s tongues, minds and hearts.
I can give many reasons
why but the major reason is because God considers your life more important than
clothes, food, good health, marriage, a job, school fees, house, friends etc.
Your life is much more important than anything you have or can ever have.
It is the very
reason the Son of God suffered so much including death on the cross. So that we
might believe and receive life; not just ordinary life but Eternal Life.
Jesus told His
disciples to rejoice not because demons were obeying them but to rejoice
because their names were written in the Book of Life.
Paul also spoke
and said, “Lay hold to eternal life...”
So then us being human, we forget easily
what is most important but God being God, He reminds us that there is no profit
in living happily ever after; trouble
free in this world and yet lose your soul and be eternally condemned to hell
fire.
Another reason why you may be suffering is
you are refusing the correction of God. The Holy Spirit of God and the true
servants of God convicts us of sin and remind us of judgement in order that we
may repent for the forgiveness (washing away) of our sins. But those who refuse
correction and refuse to repent from evil acts perish. Accept the Lord’s
correction and rebuke; don’t hold on to the vile and unworthy things of this
world: the very things which destroy and causes a person to stumble
“GOD IS MIGHTY, BUT DOES NOT DESPISE MEN;
He is mighty, and FIRM IN HIS PURPOSE. He does not keep the wicked alive but GIVES
THE AFFLICTED THEIR RIGHTS. He does not take His eyes off the righteous; He enthrones
them with kings and exalts them forever. BUT IF MEN ARE BOUND IN CHAINS, HELD
FAST BY CORDS OF AFFLICTION, HE TELLS THEM WHAT THEY HAVE DONE – THAT THEY HAVE
SINNED ARROGANTLY. HE MAKES THEM LISTEN TO CORRECTION AND COMMANDS THEM TO
REPENT OF THEIR EVIL. If they obey and serve Him they will spend the rest of
their days in prosperity and their years in contentment. But if they do not
listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge. Job 36:5 – 12
