God's help in time of trials

God is always with us! He will never leave us! (Deuteronomy 31:6)
As we go through trails and temptations in our lives, it is up to us to admit our helplessness and turn to God for strength and perseverance. "Consider it pure joy, my brother's and sister's, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you now that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-5.) God gives us trials so that we can grow more like Christ, that we will keep our focus on Him, and that we will only relay on Him. We must not rely on ourselves, or let ourselves be tempted by Satan.  When we ask God for Help  and we truly believe He will help, and not doubt, He give us what we ask for as long as it is in his plan and timing for us. If not, God will change our heart and desire toward His will, we have to  just, trust Him, and Him alone.(Psalm 37:4; Romans 8:28; Matthew 6:33; Proverbs 16:9) And not be tempted or enticed by the evil one. Who wants to derail us and put us on a path towards unhappiness, destruction, and even death. James 1:1-18

As David wrote in Psalm 63:7-8, "Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand uphold me." Because all that we have to face in life are so very hard, the only way to get through life, and not fall apart or do the wrong thing, is to totally depend on Him. The days I don't start off with prayer and in His word are the days I stumble or do the wrong thing. Doing what you want is always easier. But doing what God wants us to do is much harder. We have to rely on his love and strength. This always brings the Joy He only can give, His love, and to remember the difficult times are times to be thankful for. God is with us and is reminding us to depend on Him, cling to Him, and that His love and faithfulness for His children will never change or go away. 

I pray that god will hep those of us who love, trust, and believe in Him! Show Himself in a might way and open hearts, eyes, and lives. Always in all things remember to rely on You and Give You all the glory! In Jesus name I pray,  Amen.
