Stand strong my friend. Sometimes that’s all we can do. Stand, and watch the Lord at work. I have been standing – even though things around me are falling apart. I know God is changing things – there is a whirlwind of things happening all at the same time. Yet I choose to trust that God is still on the throne, and He will prevail.
I don’t want to list all the wrongs and my challenges. I have poured out my heart before my God just like Hannah. He knows my needs. Today I need to speak about the promises that God has given all of us in our time of need.

Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! (Psalm 62:8 AMP)
-
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Phillipians 4: 6-7 AMP)
-
For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 AMP)
-
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP)

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock. (Psalm 27:5 AMP)
-
And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. (2 Corinthinans 9:8 AMP)
-
Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:5 AMP)
Ecclesiastes 9:
So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them. 2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. …..
7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. ……..
11 I have seen something else under the sun:
The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
D’, God says things better than I do so I tend to repeat what He said. But hang in there! God is with us, even on the day we die! God is Lord over all of our troubles.
What a blessing…thank you my friend.
sometimes we all we can do is let our tears flow and trust our loving God to take care of things. He is so good. My favorite verse is one you used (Rom. 8:38-39) and it is so powerful when we take it in our heart. I love using the AMP Bible too, as my second Bible. Keep your head up! Blessings to you friend!
Thank you so much. God is good, and He will help us all – He promised.
