How do you believe beyond belief? How do you believe when no one believes with you? How do you hope and believe when the situation seems hopeless? How do you pray and believe when you know that others have their free will to go their own way? These are the questions going through my mind and heart today. There are so many situations we have had to deal with lately that seem hopeless – impossible.
This morning I woke up with a headache and heaviness and knew it was time to go to the Lord and let go of the weights I was carrying. I could feel Him taking these burdens off my shoulders one by one and I saw a pile of situations up to my knees. I could physically feel the weight coming off and felt so much lighter. Then I saw the Lord reach down to pick up what was in this pile and as He picked it up all the situations turned into hearts. He took this pile of hearts and put them up to His heart. He took my cares because He cares for me. I heard Him say that these weights were the things of my heart that I cared about and He would now take them to His heart and care for them. Wow! What a relief!
However, it wasn’t long before I received a phone call and took back from Him a situation I had given Him and all these questions came up. Since this is on my heart today I will share with you what the Lord gives me as I walk this out.
I have spent the day in prayer seeking His wisdom and guidance. I know the answer is in the Word and was standing on His promises. He told me that I needed to endure and believe His promises. Fear would try to creep in but I know that I will never experience fear while in His presence so I spent so much of my day worshipping Him and being in His presence. Here are some verses from the Word He gave me. I focused on them and can truly have hope and believe.
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me, I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency.” Philippians 4:13 Amplified Bible
“Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 Amplified Bible
“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” Ephesians 3:20 Passion Bible
“Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Passion Bible
“Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen: for the things that are visible are temporal, brief and fleeting. But the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.” 2 Corinthians 4:17
“And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.” Psalm 39:7 “And now, God, I’m left with one conclusion: my only hope is to hope in you alone!” Psalm 39:7 Passion
“Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalm 31:24
I believe today that my hope is in Him and nothing outside of the Lord will stand or bring life into any situation. My hope and expectation are in Him. I rest in His promises with earnest expectation of His love making the difference.
“Why are you down cast, O my soul? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall praise Him, my Help and my God.” Psalm 42:5
“And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in Me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in Me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world.” John 16:33 Passion Bible
“Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Passion Bible
“Be strong, confident and of good courage… Only you be strong and very courageous that you may do according to My word. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that you may prosper wherever you go. My word shall not depart from out of your mouth but you shall meditate on it day and night that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for I the Lord your God am with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:6-9
“So above all, constantly chase after the realm of God’s kingdom and the righteousness that proceeds from Him. Then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.” Matthew 6:33-34 Passion
The Lord had showed me the situation I have prayed about a couple hours before I heard about it officially. I knew no matter what that I needed to believe just like I do for my family.
