Father, in the midst of all the troubles in this world, may we be your vessels, to Share the hope we have in Jesus. This world is only a temporary place, one one day you will restore it in perfect Harmony between nature and people, with you being the center of all things. For now, we pray for suffering, knowing that this is only temporary. May you show grace and mercy on those who need it most. Amen.

Read the story of Joseph, being sold into slavery by his brothers ( See link below)! God had a plan for him, as difficult, as it was for him, but he persevered. Don’t give up, because God does not give up on us!

What are we to do in these troubled times, that we live in? Really, we are not the first people, to go through difficulty. What does God say about this through his apostle Peter? 1 Pet 5:5 says….GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE ………Therefore

Do You Believe?
www.bible.com/116/act.1.8.nltThe Apostles had not received the Holy Spirit yet. They had done many things for Jesus. Once they received the Spirit, they were able to do great things with Boldnes in the name of Jesus. How about you? Do you Believe? I believe and am not ashamed of the Gospel! May we declare with boldness, that in this sinful world, there are trials, but we have Victory thru Jesus. Not in world systems, man’s wisdom, world leaders, or any other created thing. Is is only through King Jesus!
Are you in despair and struggling through something? Have you lost hope, are you going through the valley of the shadow of death? Fear not and do not lose hope. Open your bible and read the whole Psalm. See how the Psalmist, talks to God and himself as he struggles through this difficult time. You are not alone. This life is full of trials that will either break you, or draw you closet to God. I pray it is the latter for you you today. Please feel free to share you requests for prayer, or your praises in the midst of your trials. Would love to lift you up in prayer, or sing praise of joy with you. God Bless.
Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.
Psalm 42:11 MSG

Jesus said this……do you believe? May your day be filled with the light of Jesus today, no matter, what the circumstances are. May he fill you with his presence, this Holiday season, and may the joy of Christmas, fill your heart. (Love came down – 1 Cor 13)
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
John 8:12 NASB

Temptation or Trial…….It may depend on whether you choose God, or your own selfish desires. What do you think?
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
James 1:13 NASB

Not only is this promise, for eternity, but it is for today. Jesus, didn’t give his life, so that we can sit around and wait, for the perfect life in Heaven. He gave it so we might live now, in light of this promise, with a hope that shines a light on the Good News, that the King has come, and goes to prepare a place for us. We can live now, in freedom, from the bondage from sin, and live for him! If you are hurting today, I pray, that Jesus would show you comfort, in the midst of your trial. May you feel the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Amen.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
