Matt 6:25-34
When the going gets tough...
- Stop worrying. Its going to be alright. My tweet... I may not see God's hands sometimes but I trust His heart. God loves you dearly. Meditate on how much he loves you. He allowed His body to be broken because of you.
- Maintain your confession. It can never be tough for you who are a child of God. When they say... Let your conversation align with what God is saying about the matter not what seems right to you
- Be content with what you have. Trust God that He knows what you need and is willing to give it to you. Do not live beyond what God has provided. If its not coming now, learn how to stay joyful in Christ. Stop looking morose all over the place.
- Reprioritise your life. Put God first. Give precedence to God's way of doing things. Listen for God's guidance and follow it through.
- Keep on practicing the kingdom way of life. What is it?
- Divine healing and protection. Psa 103:1-5
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
