Life Is As Tough As You Make It.


God has really been working hard in my heart and my mind. I feel it everyday and especially in every rough situation I go through. The past two or three days have been rough for me. My mind always like to wonder and think of every worse case scenario that could happen. I rebuke that because I know that's the devil trying to bring me down.
Prayer has been the only think that kept me sane this past weekend. I had so many people praying for me and I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Along with prayer comes trusting in God. We must ultimately trust in Him that He will do everything right in our life; which of course He always does. (If we allow Him to)
John 10:3 says 'The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.'
If we listen to God, He already knows us and all of our worries, so we can trust in Him. 
John 10:10 says 'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.'
The enemy is clearly-this world that we live in. Anyone who lives of this world will only always disappoint. The world has nothing to promise us that won't lead to failure. By putting our full trust in God, we can be sure that we will never be let down.

Just like my last post talked about putting all of your trust in The Lord; we can't go wrong with that decision. It has changed my life! Letting God have full control over every situation in my life has made my life so much more simpler. I don't have to worry about the little things that use to take over my life. Now when I have a tough situation thrown in my face I can easily ask God to take control and I don't feel that sense of worry anymore. 

Life is only getting easier. I'm able to except what life gives us. It's easier for me to understand I don't have control over this life I'm living; it's all in God's hands. If He is going to put me in a spot where I feel is very tough for me, I know I can just trust God. He has a reason for putting certain things in my life and even if I don't understand it right now, I know it will all make sense in the end. I am not here to impress anyone. I'm living this life to proclaim who my God is and to share what He is surely doing in my life.

In Prayer

Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
