“ He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. ”
(Psalm 147:3 NLT)

Psalm 91:1-2 NIV
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

God’s ways are not always our ways. Sometimes he doesn’t want you to know. It’s a test of your faith. Will you trust him or will you live worried, stressed and wondering how it’s going to work out? God loves us perfectly because he is perfect and not because he expects us to be. Receive his love and find strength as you rest in him.

Get in agreement with God. He can give you light without sun, water without rain, healing without a source—wherein the natural, there’s no explanation.

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
Romans 12:10 NLT

Philippians 3:10 NIV
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.

Declare your healing. Declare your freedom. Declare your dreams are coming to pass. Jesus said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain move and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Your life doesn’t stop because of a setback. God has an amazing future in store for you if you’ll take him at his word and let him lead you to a place of safety and rest.

You may be thinking you’ve wasted years of your life, but God is saying, “I can restore those years.” Nothing is lost or wasted in him.

Psalm 119:1-2 NIV
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.

Events such as that music concert you were looking forward to might have been cancelled but guess what’s not cancelled? Hope, peace, joy and patience — the fruits of the heavenly spirit. Freedom in Christ! That’s a key to faith; Trusting when you don’t understand, trusting when you don’t have the answers and trusting when it seems like it’s just the opposite of what you were hoping for.

Never give up! Not because you still have tomorrow to try, but because you may not have tomorrow to try. Take the time to appreciate what you have.

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Psalms 46:1 NKJV

Daniel 2:19-23 NIV
During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."

Just because you don’t see anything doesn’t mean God is not working. As you keep believing, keep praising, keep doing the right thing, you’re going to see things begin to change. Many times the miracle is in the process. What you’re believing for is still on the way. We serve a big God. He flung stars into space; He spoke worlds into existence. He can get you to where you’re supposed to be.

Don’t give up on your dreams by speaking against them. Instead, speak life and victory over your dreams and believe God has a plan to bring them to pass. Fuel your vision and determination with your declaration. We can smile even though we are hurting and we can feel happy even though we are unhappy. It's called strength.

“ But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me. ”
(Psalm 13:5-6 NLT)

Proverbs 13:10 NIV
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

You weren’t created to retreat; you weren’t created to run from the opposition. You have armor for one direction—to keep moving forward. When you stand strong and fight the good fight of faith, the opposition and evil will run from you. Sight has to do with what you can see, but vision has to do with what you can be. Keep a picture in your mind’s eye of what you can be and all the greatness you can share with others in the future. Trust God because he is doing all the work inside your heart. Trust what you feel and allow that love to shine unto others.

Even though something in your life may have caught you by surprise, it didn’t catch God by surprise. His plan for your life remains true.
We can always find the strength and courage that we need to press forward through all difficulties and hardships. Our faith is victorious!

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.
