One of the hardest things a Christian has to do is not give up when things get tough. Everyone finds themselves in a valley of despair at some point in time. Christians especially are attacked because satan is trying to shake their faith. When you are in the valley, you think that things cannot look worse. satan waits for those times to attack us even more.
When you find yourself in a valley, it is time to realize the following truths. It is a test, because our faith grows in the valleys. If everything was perfect all the time, we would never recognize that we are sinners in need of a savior, that savior being Jesus Christ Our Lord.
The Bible gives us many words of encouragement. Since we know God cannot lie, and He dictated Bible content, the Bible must be true. There are too many verses to list, so here are just a few that should help you anytime you choose to use them.
Romans 8:28, and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Philippians 4:19, and my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 16 - 18, Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you
If you start reading the Bible, or asking Jesus or the Holy Spirit for help, in your despair, the Bible will lead you to victory over that despair, because satan cannot be in the presence of God and do his mischief. The wonderful thing about the valley is that when you leave it, you're faith will be stronger than it was before. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
