Do Not Panic -- Trusting God in Hard Times
God is God and He is Able --

Mo Matter What the Circumstances Are God Can Do It

Today I was going to continue to finish my series on the Ten Commandments.
However my heart became heavy on the many I pray for in times of trials and tribulations.
I have a friend her name is Susan her husband died in 2006 from war related injuries.
Her son and her have been living on what they can borrow.
She has a good job but never imagine that what she was about ready to go
through would change the way she thinks about our government.
You can write Susan and give her encouragement@'Susbo3@cinci.rr.com'
Now let me say I am not here to bash the government,
I here to ask for prayer for her. She has waited 3 years for compensation
and has been paper pushed around to no end.
She feels helpless.
Unloved and paralyzed. I ask all of you to stand in agreement with her and all the others I hear from daily
For a Power
Of Prayer Movement.

The words below were given to me last night in a dream,
I hope the comfort you
They are I believe from Jesus himself.
Thank You

Fear is the believer's greatest enemy.
When a believer has fear, he cannot have believing faith. Fear paralyzes, frustrates and cripples.
Fear also involves torment as 1 John 4:18 states. Someone said, “Fear is the prison of the heart.”
Trusting God in hard times requires refusing to be frightened, refusing to be immobilized, refusing to panic.
God's Word is filled with powerful exhortations to not be afraid.
In Deuteronomy 31:8, Moses said, “And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you.
He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
Isaiah was told to
“Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God;
He will come and save you. For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'” (Isaiah 35:4; 41:13)
God is God, and He is able. Period.
No matter what the prevailing conditions are,
God can still do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 promises,
“And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread
for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing.” (2 Corinthians 9:10 Amplified Bible)

Today's hard times necessitate trusting God.
It may be disastrous not to. Whatever happens, refuse to fear, don't panic, but first seek God's counsel.
If it is unclear at the time, seek the counsel of proven Christian people.
God can speak through them, too. No matter what is going on, remember what Jesus said.
“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27)

Life is not all about accumulation of things.
He who dies with the most money or the most toys, still dies.
No one can take their friends or their collections with them to the grave.
Job, in Job 1:21 said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

The more thankful one is, the more there is to be thankful for.
A person cannot be complaining and thankful at the same time,
nor can they worry about money or health or anything while being thankful.

To dwell on political or economic woes, international crises,
personal problems, or even someone else's problems,
will invite irritability, confusion, mistrust, disgust, depression, a sense of helplessness, hopelessness and futility.

Better to stop and take into consideration what and who is truly valuable in one's life.
There is always something to be thankful for.
“Better a handful with quietness than both hands full,
together with toil and grasping for the wind.” (Ecclesiastes 4:6)

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
