Life is full of ups and downs. You will inevitably be faced with moments in life that seriously challenge you. These dark moments can leave you feeling frustrated, scared, and broken. You might start to lose some of your faith in God. Today I want to encourage you to never give up!
I passed through tremendous fires of affliction. If God could rescue me and help me be victorious, you too can overcome your struggles with the help of the Holy Spirit.
In order to overcome your obstacles, you need mental rest. The first step to toward gaining this rest is nurturing a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus said in Mathew 11:28,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit will govern (lead and control) your mind and you will experience peace of mind. The Bible explains in Roman 8:6,
"The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace."
When you spend time with the Lord daily in prayer and Bible study, you will be able to rest in the presence of the Holy Spirit. He will then help you overcome all obstacles in your life.
The Word of God explains in Deuteronomy 31:6,
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Never give up! Jesus will help you.
In Jesus name
Amen
