Facing Battles

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. –Exodus 14:14 NIV

As hard as it seems, the Lord instructs us to be courageous when facing battles. We know that He is the God of miracles and that He fights for us. We know He is able to accomplish anything. We even realize that there will be an answer in time, as we cling to the hope we have in our Lord.Yet, in life, we often have no warning signs before a crisis hits. So, it is difficult not to panic. We need to be ready to deal with the difficulties that we will inevitably face. God’s Word tells us there will be trials, but to take heart because He is next to us through all of our pain and sorrow.No one is exempt from difficult circumstances. In the hardest seasons of life, the Lord is with us. With our limited understanding, many things don’t make sense. We need only to remember that He is always near, and He promises to never leave us nor forsake us. With our Heavenly Father, even the most difficult times do not hold the final say over our lives. We will get through with our God, our Redeemer. He is the only One who can save us from utter destruction, wrapping you and I in His loving arms as He walks with us through the pain and suffering.

Lord, help me to keep my eyes on You as I walk through difficult situations.

Thank You, dear Lord, for carrying me through the worst of times.
