When Life Is Hard and There Is No Answer from God


You're wondering, how in the world can anything good come from what is my desperate situation? People constantly say, trust God. They say He loves you, and you are not alone. Well, if that be true why do I feel all along as if nobody cares? Justifiable questions, you say.

Beloved, I can't take your pain away. And I won't make little of it, either. But, yes, here comes the but. God does not sit in heaven and unleash pain and suffering in your life. But He does provide an answer to your dilemma. Now, it may not gain your approval, but if you heed these words, it will bring hope from despair. There is something good in the circumstances you're enduring. (Romans 8:28). God promises to bring that good time out of your current devastating situation. The sun will shine again. You will smile again and be filled with unquenchable joy. And you can begin experiencing His peace now. You've dwelt on the problem, and not God's ability to bring peace while in the fierce storm.

Your thoughts keep rehearing a horror movie and have you believing it will never get better. You already claimed defeat, so why not give up. Dear One, when the fire is seven times hotter that's when indefatigable perseverance has to take over. (Daniel 3:19). This is the time to activate your mustard seed faith and believe God for a miracle. And the Lord said, “If you have [confident, abiding] faith in God [even as small] as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree [which has very strong roots], ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea’; and [if the request was in agreement with the will of God] it would have obeyed you. (Luke 17:6). Remember what God did in the past and remind yourself He will do it again. Turn your worries into anthems of praise. Take a walk down Heaven's Highway through God's Word. It's full of His promises, will bring you a sense of tranquility, and lift you from profound depression.

God is working all things out for your good. When your hope is gone, look up, see God, help is on the way. It will come in the most unlikely way. Keep your heart opened and attentive to receive and He will make a way where there seems no way. It only appears it's unlikely to turn in your favor. Remember, with God, nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37, Genesis 18:14). Take authority over this period of hardships by speaking to this season and proclaim as Daniel did, my God is able to bring me out victorious. But even if He doesn’t answer to my liking, know this enemy, I won’t give up. I won’t’ stop serving God. I won’t go astray and leave the faith. I won’t be shaken by your threats and lies. I am not defeated because I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.(Ephesians 6:10). God is with me and will never forsake me. Thus, I Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation]. (Isaiah 41:10). The enemy has no power over my life. God is greater than any Goliath: Therefore …

I am strong and courageous not weak and forsaken.

I am full of joy, not sorrow and sadness.

I have hope. I am not filled with despair.

I have God’s peace not torment and fear.

I have a sound and well-balanced mind. My thoughts are of whatever is good, just, true, refreshing, and of a good report not negative, dreadful and the worst outcome

I won’t despair. My God is great, and I expect to see the goodness of the Lord unfold in my life in unprecedented ways.
