Walking With Jesus Through Our Troubles

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." - Romans 8:28

There are times when things come against us that just aren't good.  We all like the blessings of life and good times, but sometimes bad things happen to us.  Sometimes we have to endure a storm or a trial in life.  We don't like it when trouble comes upon us, but in this life we will have trouble.  Jesus tells us in Scripture that in this world we will encounter trouble and we all know by now that is so very true.

We also know that God is good and He can take our trouble and make something good come out of it for His glory.  Sometimes that is a hard thing to see right away and we may not always understand what good could possibly come from our situation.  

We must remember that God is the One that is in control and we are not.  God knows what exactly we need to grow Spiritually and learn to trust Him more.  There will be certain circumstances that will make us highly uncomfortable for a season and they may even scare us a little bit.  It is in those times that we must remember that our God is an Awesome God and He is working out things for our good for His glory.

We must cling to the Lord Jesus by faith and trust Him more.  We are must go trough trials once in a while.  In this world there will be battles that we must face, but we will never have to face them alone.  God will be right by our side and He will bring people into our lives to help us.

The other day I had an MRI and today I met with my doctor and we discussed the findings.  I have chronic sinusitis which I pretty much already knew, but they found something that wasn't supposed to be there.  There is a growth on my pituitary gland.  My doctor has referred me to a specialist down state and I will need to have my blood tested to see if the growth is interfering with my pituitary gland. 

I have mentioned before that I have struggled with worry and anxiety for many years, but right now I am feeling strangely calm.  I am going to take one step at a time and trust the Lord Jesus where ever this may lead.  God is good and He is good all the time and we can trust Him.

Lord, Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your love and mercy.

I pray that Your light would shine upon all those who find themselves in trouble.

Help us to walk with Your Lord Jesus even when things seem rather dark.

Come soon Lord Jesus.

In Jesus Name we pray,

Amen.
