Welcome to my blog
My hope and reason for writing this blog is to encourage those of you who are going through difficult times, pain, and suffering in your life. Maybe you are experiencing a problem in your marriage or with your children, a health issue, or financial hardship.
I want you to know that you are not alone. I have been where you are, and I have felt alone, worthless, and hopeless. I know how it feels when despair threatens to overcome every part of your being, but I want you to know that God is with you. He has not left you, and He is not ignoring you. He loves you! He wants you to lean on Him. Talk to Him. Cry out to Him! Tell Him all about your pain and suffering.
Pick up God’s Word and just start reading. The book of Psalms is a great place to start. David wrote a large part of Psalms during various trials in his life, and he knew all about loneliness and suffering. He cried out to God, and he trusted God no matter what he was going through. In the midst of his pain, he praised God, and God brought him out of the valley time and time again.
God has not changed. He is the same today as He was in David’s time. The same God who answered David will answer you too. Be encouraged today. God loves you, and He will speak to you through His word.
Pick up your sword!
God’s Word is the Sword of the Spirit.
Equip yourself with this sword to use on the battlefields of life.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. – Ephesians 6:13-17 NLT
