There is a saying out there that it is, “always darkest before the sun rises.” Well being a Christian this works a little different for us. I have noticed that there are many Christian’s everywhere under attack in deep and serious ways. My heart is with them all, even my life has been a little out of whack here lately as well. Our church seemingly on the brink of collapsing on the eve of a bright future. Then we get good news and its not the end of the world anymore. We must not lose sight of the fact that the Creator of the Universe is on our side, to take heart in that fact that He will never give us more than we can handle, no matter how we feel about ourselves, He knows our limits and won’t let us get pushed too far beyond them.

Nothing ever happens without a reason though our human minds might not be able to make sense of it, God knows and we must trust Him with all that we are. A lost opportunity today is a better deal tomorrow, a broken heart now can lead to a soul mate later. Take heart in your trials and rely on God and your fellow Christians, for what happens today will help you tomorrow. Here is something I pray when I get down:

Dear God

Tomorrow I know the Sun will rise

I am going to get up

Breath in and out

Endure the trials now for the good times yet to come

For Your are with me no matter what

And in that I take hope

Thank You for the gift of eternal life for I fear nothing with you.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
