Daily Scripture: The Lord Helped Me

Sometimes in life we are surrounded by so much negativity, so many difficulties, so many attacks from the known and sometimes unknown enemy, that we will continue to feel like we are being pushed.  Pushed so hard that we feel like we are about to fall.  Just when you get to the edge and you just know for a fact that you are about to fall, God will step right in to help you. He will help you cut ties with the negativity in your life, help you get through the difficulties, and protect you from the attacks of the enemy.  So when you feel like giving you, when you feel like you are continuously being pushed, when you feel like you are about to fall, DON'T GIVE UP. Think back on all the times God has helped you, hold on to the strength God has provided you with, know that God will save you, He will keep you from falling, and He will always be right there to help you in your time of need!

10 All the nations surrounded me,
    but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
11 They surrounded me on every side,
    but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,
    but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
    but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my defense[a];
    he has become my salvation.

~Psalm 118:10-14

Ask and You Will Receive

As humans our pride kicks in when we’re in trouble and in need of help and because of that pride we hesitate asking for help.  But we need to learn to drop our pride and ask for help. Regardless of what you are going through in life, the ups, the downs, the happiness, the sadness, or whatever trouble it is, know that God will turn all of our sadness, hardship, and grief into happiness, success and pure joy.  When we humble ourselves and ask God for assistance, whatever we ask Him for He will provide as long as it’s within His will.  Remember that we must always remain humble and that God will provide everything we need according to His riches, we just have to learn to communicate and ask Him for help.  God is the only one that can turn all of our situations around. Don’t be ashamed to ask Him for help, God knows our hearts and everything we are going through, He is just waiting on us to come to Him, to build our relationship with Him, and to talk with Him and ask Him for assistance.  Whatever it is holding you down or whatever it is that you need, ask and you will receive for God will turn everything around and make you whole again!!!

20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21 A woman giving birth to a child has painbecause her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. 

~John 16:20-24
