Life holds a lot of tough situations as we move through it. It is like the weather that unpredictably gets harsher and tougher. All we can do is to brace ourselves and meet the situation with as much ease as possible. Our lives are also full of ‘rough and tough’ surprises like these. We cringe away in fear, moaning and groaning through it. But do remember! No situation lasts for ever!
With every situation that passes by, we must certainly get to be stronger than the previous one. Inner strength and Fortitude carries us through Life.
“Tough times never last, but tough people do.” – Dr. Robert Schuller. This must-read book is all about gaining that extra strength during times of struggling through bad days and times.

In Isaiah 43:2,3,5, the Lord says:
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned: the flames will not set you ablaze….For, I am the Lord your God….Do not be afraid, for I am with you”.
What more assurance do we need? The Word contains a lot of these calming assurances. We need never fear because we are not alone. He who has given us His Word, is Faithful in His Promise.
When you pass through the waters and the rivers of Sorrow…
when you feel you are going to drown in your own Tears…
when your heart is Wrenched Out…
when every extreme trial feels as though you are walking on fire…
when you feel as though the flames are going to devour you..and
when you are grief-stricken that there is no one to understand you or comfort you —
The Lord Himself promises His Presence over you.
He Will Never Leave You Alone.
Feel Him near you. Listen to Him speak to you. Once you are convinced that He is near, no trial is unbearable. You will be able to walk over the waters or through the fiery flames!!
God be with you all through your days and all through your nights.
Prayer:
To all those dear ones, who go through pain and agony and yet never understand why they go through such tough situations in life and suffer much…
Understand that it is to refine and restructure you, according to His Will.
The only option is Submission.
Breathe out this prayer with me and feel the burden lifting off your minds.
God touch and heal you ! May every burden be lifted off your minds. He will take care of you.
Dear Lord, We come to You for strength during our difficult days, tough times and uncertain moments. You have promised us Your Presence at all times and we know that You are near. But the overwhelming situations take us completely by storm and we are left totally stricken and baffled. Teach us to look at these difficulties as part of a process for strengthening and toughening ourselves up. We trust You and declare our Faith in Your Strength to win every battle for us. In Your Name. Amen.
God touch and heal you ! May every burden be lifted off your minds. He will take care of you, bless you and fill you with His Strength to face every situation in Life with boldness!
