The Struggle is Over!
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 KJV
For two days I have awakened with the song, (“The Struggle is Over”) on my mind and in my spirit. Everybody struggles with something or will struggle with something at some point in their lives. During the times when we face adversity, we feel like there is no hope, and we feel a void of peace and happiness. We may not understand why we are going through it, but we must trust God. He will give us the strength and wisdom that we need to get through it. Go to God in prayer. Seek solace in His word. God’s word gives us peace, comfort, and guidance to overcome whatever challenges, struggles, or setbacks we may be facing.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD, thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 KJV
Oftentimes, the obstacles that we face can materialize because of unforgiveness, disobedience, unconfessed sin, the world we live in, or caused by other people in our lives. Whatever the case…. Seek God’s help and He will show you the way. We make our biggest mistake when we try to handle situations in our own strength. Instead of giving it to God, we tie His hands and tend to make matters worse. In times of trouble, I learned to lean on God and not my own understanding. There is always a lesson to be learned from every hardship and struggle that we face…. even if we do not understand it right away. God will either remove it or teach us how to get through it. But we must truly Trust in Him. Remember…... No battle is too big or too hard for God.
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27 KJV
Stay steadfast in your walk with God. Do not let fear, anxiety, worry, grief, heartache, brokenness, and disappointment, keep you stuck in a pit of despair, feeling helpless and hopeless. God does not give us a spirit of fear or defeat! Do not allow your struggles to kill your faith and take your focus off of God or keep you from living the life that God has called you to live. Do not feel discouraged! You are a Victor, not a victim! The battle is Already won…. you just have to believe it!
“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, it is He that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6 KJV
