We sometimes forget that we have prayed for God to supply our needs. We have asked but as time goes by we forget he is always watching over us, our Faith weakens and we need to look back and realize that this is where we are now and God has allowed to be right here, right now for a purpose. If we keep the faith and keep asking for God to be with us and be a part of our everyday lives, He will be. And tomorrow we will able to look back and say we made it through. And how would we know we have made it? Because we will be able to say We are right here, right now!. Of course only made possible by God in Heaven. Peace, CBW Assurance in Trials Romans 8:32-39 We all experience hardship, and trials can shake us unless we cling to truth. Let me share three assurances to remember when troublesome circumstances arise. First, God will always meet our needs. This doesnt mean He provides everything we want. Instead, the Lord will bless us with all that is necessary to fulfill His purpose for our lives. His goal is to sanctify us, not simply to satisfy each immediate desire. Second, were never alone. God promised to be with us always (Heb. 13:5). Loneliness often accompanies hardship, so we may feel deserted or opposed by family and friends. But our Father has sent His Spirit to be with us and in us, until the day He brings us to heaven (John 14:16-17). He is all we need--our advocate, guide, helper, and comforter. Recognizing His intimate presence gives us confidence in the midst of trials. Third, Gods love is eternal. Regardless of our circumstances or poor decisions, His care is unconditional--even when He reprimands us. Loving parents allow disobedient children to experience the consequences of wrong choices; they recognize the benefit of learning from mistakes. Of course, there are also times when we are negatively affected by others wrong actions. Even then, God is sovereign and allows only what will bring good in His followers lives. In difficult times, we can remember that God will meet all of our needs, is always with us, and loves us forever. Though Jesus said we would face troubles in this life, He offered encouragement: The ultimate victory is His. So keep in mind that trials are fleeting, whereas our Fathers love is forever.
