Following God Even When It’s Difficult
– From When Satan Attacked My Thoughts by Joyce Meyer
Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I have often found that following God can sometimes be lonely. The people we depend on the most for support and encouragement can disappoint us. They often misunderstand us, and may even criticize us for the path we have chosen.
Even in this, God has purpose. It is important that we look to God and not to people. We all love approval, but we must not need it in order to obey God. If we do, we will surely be defeated.
In this clip, Joyce teaches that you can be assured that no matter what you are going through, God will never leave you. And He has the ability to take it all and make it good.
Tip:
Making the most of your day can sometimes be difficult. Especially in those days when you feel like you are alone. When this happens, remember that God is always there for you. Say a prayer and continue to move forward.
