Do you know that God has promised us that He will give us the strength that we need at the exact time that we need it – not before.  When you hear of people suffering horrific challenges in their lives, you tell yourself that you would never be able to get through that experience if it had happened to you.  You ask ‘how will they get through that?’  We must remember that God’s grace is sufficient and it is.  If you are not going through a crisis at the moment, you do not possess what it will take to get through it so you can’t sense how you would feel, but rest assured that when you need it, it will be there for you.  All you have to do is reach down deep within and feel the Spirit of God covering you.  God provides the strengh when we need it.  We can’t receive it now and then store it up for later.  It comes when it is time.  Jesus even taught us to pray ‘give us our daily bread.’  So don’t live in fear wondering how you will endure something that may happen in the future. God has also promised us that He will give us a way of escape through every trial that we face, and the comfort of His Spirit is one way of escape.  When we are weak, He is strong and that is why we must depend on God, who is omnipotent and omnipresent.

It is vital that every Christian maintain their prayer life.  For it is in prayer that we empty ourselves of all of our fears and we hold on to the hope that we find in our Lord Jesus Christ.  If God promised it – He will do it.  People can make promises to you and break them all of the time, but if God has given you a promise, He will keep it.  So pray about everything and every one in your life.  Trust God to provide and protect you and them and when you need Him most, you will find Him right there with you, providing the support you need.
