Trust that God is working everything in your life for your good

Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Whatever situation or challenge you face, the Lord who never sleeps nor slumbers has a hand in it. The strong right arm of the Lord will do a glorious thing in the situation. Leave everything to him. For the Lord we serve is faithful.


Accept that the Lord’s ways are higher than ours

Isaiah 55:8-9
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. And my ways are far beyond anything you can imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my thoughts are higher than your thoughts

God’s plans for you are marvellous. As humans, we can never fully understand the creator’s thoughts, but his revelation through his Word gives great insight and knowledge of some of the things he will do. That is why it is key that a believer must study and allow the Word of God to dwell richly in their spirit. Doing this, enables us to have more trust in God. We learn not to lose heart by trusting in the Lord’s intimate involvement in every circumstance we face.

Refuse to make quick judgement.
Ask, “God, what are you doing in my life?”

Focus on the Father instead of the crisis.
Meditate on Scripture, which fuels your awareness of the Father’s comfort and unconditional love.

Avoid dwelling on the pain

Psalms 103:19
The Lord has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything.

It’s normal to feel loss and suffering, but instead of fixating on the grief, go to the ultimate source of strength, the Word of God

Recall past crises and the opportunities that followed.
Seeing God’s handiwork through past hardships will encourage you in your current trial. For the God who knew us in advance has chosen us to become like his Son, Jesus Christ.  He has chosen us to come unto him. And having called us, he has given us right standing with himself. And given us right standing; he has given us his glory. So fret not.

Let go of your anger immediately.

Eph. 4:26-27
And don’t sin by letting anger control you. “Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Even if you feel upset at first, don’t let that emotion take root in your life. Releasing your irritation frees you to see God’s purpose in your circumstances.

Submit yourself to God’s will.
Joseph faced every trial with a humble heart that was willing to grow and learn. When we believe the Lord’s promises, we are also motivated to surrender to His will in every situation.

Demonstrate a spirit of gratitude.
Even in the darkest valley, knowing the Lord has good plans for your life is a powerful motivator of thankfulness


Determine to view the trial as a chance to see God at work.
Choose to approach the situation with hope and a desire to learn.

Refuse to listen to unscriptural interpretations of your situation.
No matter how well meaning others are, they are not in your exact situation. Ask God how you are to respond to adverse circumstances.

Remain in constant prayer, listening for the Father’s instructions.
God will often use hardship to draw you closer to Himself. Pain, trials, and suffering are all used by the Father to develop your intimate relationship with Him.

Do not give in to fluctuating emotions.
When you pray and your situation doesn’t change, you may want to give up. But remember that feelings are often the enemy of obedience, and resist the temptation.

Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.
No matter what, know that the Father loves you and is in control. You can’t go wrong by trusting your entire life to Him.

CONCLUSION:
Are you facing a crisis today? If so, the Lord wants to turn it into an awesome opportunity for you to develop new skills, strengthen your character, and draw you closer to Him. If you Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him, He will transform you to the image of His Son and use all situations for your ultimate blessing.

My prayer for you is that you will surrender to the grace and love of the Father, even in the midst of adversity. Then you will be blessed beyond your wildest dreams.

Psalm 1:1-3

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper

Amen!

God bless
