Trusting Jesus In Times Of Difficulty

Sometimes things come into our lives that challenge our faith.  We all go through things.  Some things are small and easy to handle, but somethings are really hard.   Whatever challenge comes our way we can we absolute certainty that the Lord will be with us each step of the way.  Sometimes we may not sense His nearness right away, but we know from the Scriptures that He will never leave us nor we will ever forsake us.

Sometimes God uses these challenges that come against us to get our attention and to teach us that we can trust Him even in the most difficult of circumstances.  I don't particularly like challenging times and don't like difficult trials, but I know that trials and troubles come against all of us for a season.  Some people have to undergo a long season of trouble and some may only have to endure for a short season.

I am kind of wimpy when it comes to difficulties and things that bring stress.  I sometimes have trouble feeling anxious and depression sometimes clouds my mind.  I know that the Lord will be with me each step of the way throughout life.  I also know that God is good and He will provide us with all of our genuine needs.

I haven't written for a few days for a reason.  The other night my pulse rate seemed to go up rather high for me.  It was 140 and I wasn't exercising.  I have been feeling anxious and stressed lately.  I got a little scared and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.  So, I called an ambulance and they took me to the Hospital.  The ER staff was great and they ran some test.  They didn't find anything wrong with my heart and my blood test came back fine as well.  My heart was still beating fast at about 100 beats per minute for about the next 24 hours.  They recommended that I wear a heart monitor for a few days to see what that turns up.  After I ate supper tonight I noticed my heart rate is up to 115 beats/min.  which kind of makes me a little nervous,  but I am trying not to worry about it.
It does concern me since my resting heart beat usually stays around 67 beats/minute.

I would like to ask everyone to please pray for me.  I thank you for the prayers.  I am trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is my Lord and Savior.  I am saved by His shed blood on the Cross.  I place my faith and trust in Jesus Christ and I hope you have too.

Lord,
I praise Your Name.
You are Holy and Just in Your Judgments.
Lead us and guide us closer to You.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
