I am hurting physically? I have pain that rarely subsides. Every day…every night…too painful. I want to forget the pain but….it’s too painful..And for me it’s easy to focus on the pain and question where is God and why hasn’t He healed me yet. I sometimes ask God to take this life…but i will stop.
My bestfriend who take care of me will always remind me to love this life that God has given and entrusted to me. To live this life full of hopes, expectations and faith with God..To always think about HIS goodness and faithfulness since the beginning of my life ’till now.
And so….i will stop..I will just cry and bear this pain…by His grace i will try to forget this pain and continue to live this life and God will remind me that His grace is sufficient for me. He is with me on this battle. He will never leave me. He will never forsake me.
In this challenging times when i am in difficulty – maybe difficult circumstances or maybe a health problem where do I get the strength to overcome these challenges? Will I put my hope in God? Will I ask God to fight alongside with me? The answer is YES because the Lord is a warrior and Yahweh is His name and He is fighting for me. Will I ask God to take this life? The answer is NO because this life of ours are precious in the sight of God.
NOW this is a reminder to myself; a NOTE to myself….
Don’t let this pain speak louder than God’s love for me. Don’t put God in the box. Don’t be frightened by the challenge that is in my path. He loves me so much. This pain I bear can have meaning by bringing glory to God. Be courageous, don’t concentrate on the pain, instead, be bold and be strong before the Lord, God provides strength for me. REST in HIS ARM….
And i will pray, Dear Lord, in spite of the challenging times that I am facing, I thank you that you are my strength and my fortress – my protection comes from you, my strength to handle adversity comes from you. Lord, I trust in you and your love for me. I thank you that You are a good God and You are a loving God. I know true well that nothing is impossible for You. I now give You my situation and I will rest in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
