Let God Lead You Through Every Challenge In This Life

i would like to ask you the question how is your heart today both spiritually and physically what is the condition of your heart are you troubled are you worried or maybe anxious john 14 verse 1 says let not your heart be troubled you believe in god believe also in me these words spoke by jesus should give you comfort and if you're still needing reasons to be convinced as to why you should not let your heart be troubled the word of god in john 14 27 says peace i leave with you my peace i give to you not as the world gives do i give to you let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid and isaiah 43 2 reads when you pass through the waters i will be with you and through the rivers they shall not overflow you when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned nor shall the flame scorch you and finally psalm 23 verse 4 says yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me god has said peace i leave with you my peace i give to you not as the world gives do i give to you let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid if you were drowning in worry if the waters are too deep and you're struggling to catch your breath god has said when you pass through the waters i will be with you and through the rivers they shall not overflow you even if you are in a scary place if it feels like rock bottom remember the word of god though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me and so with that said let us hold on tightly to the words jesus gave us the word of god teaches us that faith is the key to everything for the believer in christ it's by faith that we come to accept jesus christ as our lord and savior it's also by faith that we live our lives with joy and gladness knowing that there is eternity to be spent with the father above and perhaps one of the most prominent verses in the bible about faith is hebrews 11 verse 6. but without faith it is impossible to please him for he who comes to god must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him this underlines just how much faith is required for the believer and on the topic of faith there are times you have to encourage yourself there are times that you'll have to learn to talk to yourself and tell yourself the promises of god tell yourself who god says you are and when you do this you will find that it will lift you up to walk on top of your situation rather than underneath it it will lift your faith tell yourself the word of god such as mayhem chapter 1 verse 7 the lord is good a refuge in times of trouble he cares for those who trust him tell yourself isaiah 40 verse 29 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak tell yourself deuteronomy 31 verse 8 the lord himself goes before you and will be with you he will never leave you nor forsake you do not be afraid do not be discouraged now there may be someone who has gotten to the point where you are so low that you think god has forgotten you there may be someone who finds themselves today at a point of uncertainty you don't know whether to turn left or right you don't know whether to cry or smile and regarding whatever it is that's making you feel this way if it's sin if it's addiction if it's your marriage or if it's the fact that you can't seem to find someone to marry if it's your job or financial situation i want to encourage you to pray about it pray about it before you give up pray about it before you look anywhere else pray about it before you look to anyone else and the reason i'm telling you to pray about it is because too often when we find ourselves in these certain positions we either drift away and get lost in the sea of our problems or we start paddling trying to find a way out of our problems we start trying to use our own strength to get out of the messes we're in we do our best to use our resources and know how just to try to save ourselves but i would like to encourage you to pray about it call on the name that is above every other name the name of jesus pray about it and call on the lion of the tribe of judah when i read jeremiah 33 verse 3 which says call to me and i will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know when i read that scripture i hear the word of god telling me to pray about it whatever situation you face today whatever circumstances or situation god wants you to call on him psalms 50 verse 15 says call on me in the day of trouble i will deliver you and you will honor me that means pray about it so let your hope be found in god he says trust me in your times of trouble and i will rescue you he says abide in me and i will restore you he says come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and i will give you rest saints for every issue you have for every problem you face god has a name for that and if you're out there and you need redemption he is the redeemer if you need a second chance if you need another chance he's merciful if you need to be delivered let me tell you my god is the deliverer if you need protection he is the lion of the tribe of judah do this for yourself read the word of god and begin to confess his word it's made all the difference in my life just see what it will do for you [Music] you
