God provides and he never changes.

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those who walk with him. Lord almighty blessed is the one who trusts you.” {Psalms 84:11-12}

Sometimes we feel like nothing is going our way. We feel nothing is going the way we planned or expected. We think things that are good are so far away. We often think “God where are you?” “God, did you leave me?” “God, why are these things happening to me?” These are common struggles everyone goes through. Sometimes we feel lost, and that’s okay. It’s okay to be lost. We just have to look to God and find a way out. God always provides a way for us and always wants the absolute best for us. Often times we don’t know why we go through the trials and struggles we do, but in the end everything happens for a reason and God always has the best plan possible for your life.

During these struggles and hard times you face, God does not stop loving you. God will always be there and even when you don’t understand or your frustrated, God will love you. He will never leave you. It’s okay to feel lost, it’s normal. Your personal walk with Christ is so important and God cares so much about you that he will never leave you. He wants the best for you and will always provide for you.

Getting a little personal: My mom went through a lot when I was younger. She was in the hospital and getting surgeries for many years. It was hard for my family and I to see her in so much pain. I felt so hopeless and didn’t know what to do. During that time my faith starting fading and I didn’t know how to handle it. About a year after my mom got better and I started attending church regularly. During the time I didn’t realize, but God was providing me with so much joy and happiness. No, the struggles we were facing weren’t good and the pain was rough.. but God provided our family with so much during that time. I soon realized God put us through those trials to help us grow and help us get stronger and better know him. He puts you through trials and temptations to guide you! He loves you and he will never lead you int he wrong direction!

God knows what we need even before we do. Sometimes we think we need something, but in reality we don’t need it. He knows what your going through and he knows how to make you grow. Be thankful for what you do have and seek your faith in Christ. God is able to do so much for us. In his time he will provide for us and show us the way. He is an unstoppable God and is so faithful. <Psalms 34:10> says “The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.”} If you delight yourself in the lord and let him guide you he will give you every good thing. Some situations we face may make us think God isn’t there and that he doesn’t care, but that is not true. God always cares for us! We think what we are going through is bad for us, but in the end everything you go through God put you through these struggles to guide you and to make you stronger.

If there is anything that is constant in life it is change. Everything changes. Change can be scary sometimes and your life could change overnight. Your life could be shaken in a short amount of time. Maybe lots of circumstances have changed in your life and you feel shaken and lost. But, what i’ve learned from the situations i’ve faced is our covenant with God, bought by the blood of Christ never changes. <Malachi 3:6> says “I am the lord, I change not.” <Hebrews 13:8> says Jesus is the same “yesterday, today, and forever.” When nothing else stays the same, God does. There is no room for doubt. In a world that is constantly changing, the one who saves doesn’t change.

Maybe there’s been a time where you feel like the world around you is sinking sand. Maybe your there now. But, always remember there is always a rock to stand on. A rock to firmly hold on that won’t move or shift. That rock is God and his promises are yes and amen.

God always provides you with a way. He is always there and he wants to be apart of your life. Isn’t it amazing to think the God Almighty, Lord of Lords, the one who saves, loves us and cares for us enough to do all he does for us. Jesus Christ: God’s son died on the cross for our sins. Isn’t that so amazing to think about how great our God is. God is so good and he provides you with everything you need for a reason. Next time your going through a difficult situation pray to God and ask him to help guide you. God loves you so much and he will never forsake you!

lots of love -carsyn claire
