“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.”
— Psalm 9:10

When we fully depend upon the Lord, His grace comes in and strengthens us. His “power is perfected in weakness. Our temporary struggles can become a platform for future momentum and breakthrough!

Our problems are God’s opportunities. Yet when dealing with something, we may become so anxious and fearful that we shut off honest communion with Father. Instead, we should cling to God in our challenges, exhibiting trust that the trial can become a gift. As we cling to Father in the midst of our problems, not only will we overcome them—we will be better because of them. 

Paul told the church in Corinth he faced such hardship that he despaired even of life. “Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.” Paul was saying, “The Lord put me in such a place of hardship and weakness that there was no natural solution for me and the only thing left for me to do was look up and connect with God, who raises the dead.”

Will you break away from looking for man to be your answer? God is knocking at the door of your heart right now. He is waiting for you to let Him in. Let’s put all our confidence in Him!
