Many of you may be experiencing an enormous amount of pressure. It may be financial burdens, family struggles, relationships, or health challenges. When under pressure, our faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. We just want things to get better. For God to show up mightily and turn things around. I understand and have been there where things seems to be falling apart and God is no where around.
The enemy will have to think that God has forsaken you. That’s not true. He is near to the broken hearted. Instead of trying to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
If you have don’t know what to do. Pray to the Father for help. He wants to help. He loves to help His children. The wonderful thing is that He will not be condescending. He won’t say, “Didn’t I help you out before?”
I know it may be hard to do, but don’t worry. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought or doubt that He will do what He promised. Stay loyal! Don’t let the pressure cause you to give in to evil and say, “God is trying to trip me up.” God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one’s path.
When trials come your way consider yourselves fortunate because when your faith succeeds, the result is the ability to endure. Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:3-13
