Trusting In The Lord When Life Gets Hard

Sometimes life seems hard and difficult.  Sometimes life seems totally unfair to us.  We think of the seemingly unfairness of a young child fighting for their lives after being diagnosed with cancer.  We think of the people who are trapped in war torn countries with no place to run and hide.  Life is hard for so very many people in our day and age.

We think it is unfair when we see swindlers get rich and the people who want to do good end up struggling to pay the bills.  Sometimes we may even wonder if there is something wrong with us because we aren't as successful as the guy mentioned on the evening news.  

We must remember that we live in a fallen sinful world and this world is not our home if we are a believer and follower of Jesus Christ.  When we come to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we become citizens of Heaven.  We wait for the Day when Jesus returns and takes us their to our Home where there will be no more tears, wars, hunger, or death.  

When our lives get difficult we must remember to whom we belong.  We belong to the Lord Jesus if we have put our faith in His finished work on the Cross.  We are Christ ambassadors here on the earth.  We are to bear witness to the Gospel Message and proclaim what Jesus has done for us and all people who put their faith and trust in Him.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says,

"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight."


When life gets hard and difficult we must continue to trust the Lord with all of our hearts.  We must remember that God is still at work in our world today even though we may not see any evidence of that on the surface of things.   We must continue to seek His face and continue to seek Him in prayer.
The Lord knows what He is doing.  He is an all powerful and awesome God.

There are things that happen in life that don't always make sense to us, but God is never taken by surprise.  The Lord asks us to just trust Him during life's difficult moments.  He loves us and He does care for us.

Are you trusting in the Lord with your difficulty?

Lord,
Sometimes life gets hard.
Thank You that You are always there to lead us through those moments.
We praise Your name.
We trust You O Lord.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
