Everyone on this earth has problems. There are big problems, and small problems. Some of these problems can be life-threatening, such as a disease, or just trifles. Just because someone is a Christian, does not mean they will be free of these trials in life.
I have had many days when satan tried to make me question my faith. Generally he tries to take something that is going on in your life, and blow it way out of proportion. He tries to plant doubt that God even hears you, let alone acts in your life to help you.
Let's look at some facts. The Word of God tells us that if we ask in Jesus' name, He will answer. While this is absolutely true, it does not mean it will happen exactly as you think it will, or happen exactly when you think it should. This is a time that satan will try to trip you up.
John 15:7, If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
If you read the Bible, you will discover over a period of time, that your trust in God, and your knowledge of how much He loves you will grow. You will also learn that God operates according to His time, not ours. Waiting on the Lord does not mean no. You could read many books about God's timing and still miss something.
Keep this in mind always. God loves us, and His will is pretty clear in His Word, the Bible. When we act according to His will, He always hears.
Psalm 37:4, Take Delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires.
1 John 5:14-15, This is the confidence we have before Him; if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we ask of Him.
God not only takes care of our problems, He will also give us the desires of our hearts , because He puts those desires that will do the most good for us in our hearts.
Another benefit of knowing God's Word, you will know His Will. The Holy Spirit will lead you down the right path, and will help you if you listen for His voice in your heart. The more you grow, the easier it is to hear His voice.
Proverbs 3 5 - 6, trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your path straight.
So if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with life, and / or satan is attacking you, find a quiet spot, relax, and read this entire message, especially the verses. satan cannot be in the place where God is, your heart.
Romans 8:28, We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.
Philippians 4 6 - 7, don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and Minds in Christ Jesus.
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
