Isaiah 41:10, ESV

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Psalm 27:1, ESV

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Exodus 15:2 ESV

The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

When someone who’s going through a rough patch hears, “I don’t know how you do it” — the answer should be abundantly clear…”GOD.”  However, there are those who don’t believe in GOD, and would reply, “I don’t have any choice” which would be the truth most times of course.  But following God and believing in His strength and peace to get us through those times, is truly our choice.

Personally, this past weekend was stressful.  My husband from the ER Department was admitted to the hospital with a serious bacterial infection, and he is a diabetic on top of that.  Well, I began to pray along with my family and prayer warriors, and after 48 hours, his numbers, by God’s grace and love, came down and he was released two days later!  Praise God!

However, it was during my time at home…in the still of the night, where I found my strength from the LORD and His perfect peace surrounded me like a velvet cloak of warmth and love.  I was calm, I was still, I was blessed to know His presence was with me.  And, I was able to “do things” that I never thought I was capable of…ONLY because of Him, my Lord and Savior.

Harrowing times, and moments of hideous darkness quickly resolve into “light powering force” of love and comfort from above as we’re taken care of under His powerful wings.  He will never leave us nor forsake us.  He is with us always.

He hears prayers. He is there with us shining His incredible light into our darkest moments. Again, I don’t know how anyone can live without Him.  They may think they’re living…but sadly, they’re existing.

With God…we thrive and we LIVE now and always.

For those who don’t know Him, I invite you to get to know Him by His word, the Gospel, His book…I promise your life will never be the same, it will be BETTER.  Amen.

“So, Father God, thank You for Your strength, Your Word, Your love, and for being with me this past weekend, and all of my trials before, and perhaps to come, I love You and I give You all the glory, power and praise, and You get the Victory no matter what, in Jesus precious name, Amen.”
