Living a Job lifestyle

When we go through suffering...As a christian we can be reminded that God truly wants all of us and to look at the suffering and wish for relief is not a bad thing but we really need to place our focus on Him not why we are going through the suffering that we are in. There is a strange sense of peace that comes when we place our focus on the Lord.

If your continue to look at your suffering then your placing your eyes on the wrong thing. Easier said than done and through practice you will be able to overcome that...How you do that? Well there are a few ways. #1 Spend time with Jesus, even if that means that you pray while you drive, just pour out your heart to Him, He's there listening to you and wants to hear your prayers, sit in silence let Him speak to you. #2 Worship it is as simple as that, whether you listen to your iPod, just sing a song that you know, or it is with a congregation corporately, you need to worship the Lord (Ps. 42:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence.(emphasis mine)
#3 Fellowship with other believers who will support you not just with an encouraging word but with physical help as well.
#4 Read you bible that is essential to your walking this out God will not only speak to you in your prayers and through other people but will also speak to you through His word.

God has amazing plans for you during your time of suffering. Remember the most important thing is that your not alone...your not the first to get hammered in life and you won't be the last...I'm right there too, our family is going through the ringer, is God in control? I can emphatically say YES He is and He knows what He is doing. I'm not completely sure where this is going to lead but God will use this for His glory. I want to encourage all of you who have lost hope "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and His righteousness". When your hope is on what you can see and touch remember that material and man will always fail, things burn and man will die. But God will not fail us at times He may seem like He as left us but that is so far from the truth, He may just be using your situation to teach you or someone else something. God is so big and great that there is not even a leaf on a tree that falls that He doesn't notice. He is not to big for you though He being omnipresent is always there.

God Bless for now
