“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life!” Proverbs 3:5-8, The Message
One morning last week I was pondering the difficulties of my own life and those around me while driving down the road. And needless to say, my heart was extremely heavy as I could not figure out “why” these challenges were going on or “what” to do about them. These thoughts led me to feelings of helplessness, but then a thought came across my mind, “I may not know why these situations are going on or what to do about them, but I know who my God is.” Within an instant I began to feel better. I got my eyes off the problem and onto God – The Solution.
The truth is, we may never understand “why” we are walking through dark times, but we know who our God is! He is faithful and He is everything we need! Join me today in declaring who God is:
When my body is sick – He is my Healer.
When I cannot pay my bills – He is my Provider.
When my mind is filled with worry – He is my Peace.
When my family forsakes me – He is my Father, Mother, Sister and Brother.
When my heart is filled with anger – He is my Forgiving Father.
When strife is all around me – He is my Protector.
When my friend betrays me – He is my Loyal Companion.
When I am rejected – He is my Acceptance.
When I don’t know what to do – He is my Wisdom.
When I do or say the wrong thing – He is my Grace.
When I can barely get out of the bed – He is the Lifter of my head.
When I am afraid – He is my Perfect Love that casts out all fear.
No matter what you are going through, God is everything you need at this time. Run to Him and as the scripture states your body will glow with health and your bones will vibrate with life!
Prayer:
“Lord, You are everything I need today. I give you every situation on my heart. Please be my healer, provider, peace, protector, wisdom, grace and lifter of my head. I choose to get my eyes off of the problem and onto You – the Solution! I love you and I plead the Blood of Jesus over me, my family and those I love this day! Amen.”

Awesome words of wisdom, Trac!
As Psalm 55:22 says, “Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders – He’ll carry your load, He’ll help you out.”
Sometimes, we simply don’t know the “why” of things. That’s where faith comes in. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
In reaching our destiny, we sometimes walk THROUGH difficult things; but we become stronger and more dependent upon God because of those trials.
May you and your family know God’s blessings today in everything you do!
Much love,
Brigette
God is our strength in times of trouble. How often we try to solve our own problems in our own strength. I love this verse. Not only is God our solution, but He is our strength. I’ve realized when I try to fix problems our workout solutions I always make a mess. If I wait on the Lord, He will solve the problem. He is so good!
ha ha! You must read my post from Today! I wrote it before you posted. I have been on the same seeking of God for a few years now. (As You Know).
Right on time word. I was just reading that same passage just a minute ago. I am going through something, and I always go to that particluar scripture. It is a confirmation again, that lets me know God knows all. He knows all. Thank you again.
love,
stephanie
A huge AMEN! He truly is our everything. Love you!
