What To Do During Difficult Times


God tells His children that there will be those who want to hate them and even to kill them. Remain on track to obey Jesus basic commands. Love God. Love your neighbor as yourself.


Enjoy the Spirit of love, joy and peace that God has placed in your heart as His child.


Allow your life to be guided by the example of good leaders you have known. Look at the outcome of their lives and notice how they lived. Imitate their faith. These memories and the spirit of love will guide you into a good way of life. Look at the consequences of hate and bitterness versus the results of unfailing love. The future is good for people who live a life of love. Bring glory to God who creates beautiful things. Keep your hope alive and see God turn sadness into joy.


Transitions are hard. Change comes with discomfort. There is great travail and pain getting into this world and there is great travail and pain getting into the new world on the other side. This world is not our home as children of God. We are always going to feel like strangers and aliens here to a certain extent.


Pray. Ask God to give wisdom to world leaders to lead us in a good path. Ask for guidance from God's leaders that He has placed in your life. Listen carefully to God's word in Scripture that has been around for a few thousand years.


Enjoy the Father's love and His ability to give good gifts to His children.


When difficult days come and when painful events overwhelm your life be sure and stay close to God through prayer and mindfulness. Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe in Jesus. He will protect you as His child until your work is done.


Read John 14, 15, 16, 2 Timothy 3.

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
