Survival Techniques

The world we live in is full of so many problems that it is no wonder that many people suffer from depression and other illnesses.  It is not easy to know exactly what you should do when pressure hits your life, but God has given us a guide book that provides us with answers – answers that have been proven by that great cloud of witnesses.  Unfortunately, many people look to their family and friends for answers, but every human being on this earth is limited to some degree.  No one knows it all or has all of the answers, but for those who have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, there is good news.

Our heavenly Father can do all things, therefore, there is nothing impossible for Him, and God has told us how to handle the pressures of life.  We are to do the following:

  • Trust in the Lord
  • Lean not to our own understanding
  • Acknowledge God in all of our ways
  • Be patient
  • Be positive

We must trust God’s plan and purpose for our lives and believe that God will work out everything for our good.  Knowing that, we then can invite God into our daily lives and let Him control the outcome.  God will not ask for our permission nor does He want our opinion on how He chooses to work in our lives.  It is our responsibility to take our burdens to the Lord and leave them there and then be patient and positive.  God has never failed and we must live our lives putting our faith in the One who created Heaven and earth.  God will order our steps; we must obey and follow where He leads us.

If you are to live your life in peace regardless of what the crisis are in the world or in your life, you must be able to survive anything and everything that comes your way.  You can’t do it on your own but you can do it with the Lord’s help.  Seek God with your whole heart and remember that He is the one you turn to first for instruction, protection and provision.  No one loves you more than the one who knew you while you were yet in your mother’s womb.  Trust Him – your life depends on it!
