During the hard times.

   Praying for all of us who have feelings of hopelessness, pain, anxiety and fear creeping into our lives.  Cling to the promises of His Word.  We may never know what's going on behind the scenes but without faith ....all we have is despair and sorrow.  I NEED to trust that God's plan is better than anything I could imagine even if I have to wait until I meet Him face to face to understand.


When it seems all hope is gone......For I know the plans I have for you. declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. — Jeremiah 29:11


When the pain is too much to bear....  Seek the LORD and his strength;  seek his presence continually!  1 Chronicles 16:11


When you aren't able to find your next breath...  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  Philippians 4:13
\

When you are afraid.... fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.  Isaiah 41:10


When you aren't strong enough on your own.... Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God,   the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint,   and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;   they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;   they shall walk and not faintIsaiah 40:28-31
