Burdened...



     Life can and will  be overwhelming at times.  The weight of a lot of small problems that accumulate or the unforeseen  "drop" of a huge problem can cause us to lose perspective, hope and faith.   The weight of this burden can even make us start to question our self worth and our core beliefs.  It can cause fear, anxiety and desperation up to the point of just plain giving up. Psalm 27:1 (NLT)
   The crippling effects resulting from these problems will rob of us of the gift of peace and joy.  This is not what God intended for us when He sent His Son to earth to die on the cross for our salvation.  There are evil forces around us that will stop at  nothing to cause us Christians to stumble.  2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NLT)
     It is important to realize that these "tests" can be dealt with Someone who is greater than any problem.  He is in this with you.  He is above this.  He knew this would happen before we were even born.   He is waiting on the other side with His hands open wide towards you.  Matthew 11: 28-29 (NLT)
     Even in the worst of circumstances, we must remember keep our eyes on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He is the only way out.  We have to power to overcome any situation by claiming the authority as children of God.  We can claim the victory through the Blood of Jesus the was shed at Calvary.  Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)
     We need to put on the full armor of God.  Ephesians 6: 10-17. (NLT)  Keep studying the bible.  Every answer is in there.  We must trust and obey God's word.  He will overcome...  Exodus 23:22 (NLT)
  
Be strong and have Faith... Faith will bring Joy... Romans 5: 1-11. (NLT)

REJOICE!!!  Warmer days will come...
