Have Faith in God

In these times of so many challenges and changes, there is comfort in knowing that God is our refuge and strength and a constant source of help in times of trouble. With this in mind, it is time to stand strong in faith with expectation that the best is yet to come. Although current realities of struggle and discomfort abound, we have an opportunity to press through the difficulties to witness a greater manifestation of the glory of God. Have faith in God for deliverance; He is still faithful to fulfill every promise; He is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. ( 2 Cor. 1:3,4)
By faith, we believe that everything is working out for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. (Rom. 8:28) It could be that we have been called into the kingdom for such a time as this.

Comfort in Crisis

In the midst of celebrations and great expectations for better days ahead, some people however are experiencing the cold reality of grief, pain, suffering, loss and other devastating circumstances. No matter the cause of these challenges, there is a universality of feeling the pain brought on by critical life events. There is great peace in knowing that God, our Father provides love and comfort for the soul that is troubled or weary from bearing heavy burdens of life. He is the God of all comfort; therefore earth has no sorrow that He can not heal.

Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls; for My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
