A troubled heart experiences worry and anxiety, which can cause inconvenience in every day life. God does not want us to live this way as He is always near in the day of trouble. We often wish we could escape troubles or even the small daily frustrations and stress that constantly wear us down.
God has promised to be our source of power, courage and wisdom to help us through our problems. Sometimes, He also chooses to deliver us from those problems. Instead of getting frustrated with God, in the time of trouble, we need to cultivate a habit of thanking Him for being by our side.
The good man does not escape all troubles he has them too. But the Lord helps him in each and every one. You will never walk alone as Christ walks beside you and He is the dearest Friend you will ever know. When trouble calls on you, call on your Best Friend, Jesus Christ. Do not let your heart be troubled in turbulent times, as Jesus is always there for you. Cultivate a habit of calling on Him, praising, thanking and worshiping HIM.
Our Lord, Jesus Christ is your Defence and Refuge in the day of trouble. He is your Help in ages past and your Hope for years to come. Nothing surprises God, as He is your Shelter from the stormy blast. He has not promised us that we will not face troubled times but He has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us. This is a great comfort, as we trust Him all the way.
Life's troubles are too tough to take on alone. Hence, you need to stand on the solid rock of Jesus and He will show up for you always. Let your desire be to live for the Lord, whether circumstances are good or bad. The Lord can turn a crisis to a treasure, because He is God. When you trust the awesome power of God, you will experience peace and not panic. He is your reliable source of strength and protection. He is also your Stronghold in the time of trouble and your ever-present Help.
As God has promised to be with you in the time of trouble, He wants you to cast all your problems on His broad shoulders so that your heart will not be troubled. The Psalmist says in Psalm 138:7, " Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand, you save me." Be, encouraged as God will bring you out of trouble in His righteousness.
The defining moments of our lives are not determined by the trouble we go through, but by our response through the grace and power of God. He is good all the time, no matter what trouble we experience. He will not let you go through what you cannot handle as He is always by your side. Child of God, let not your heart be troubled. PEACE
