It's often hard to remain positive in tough economic times to believe that God is there with us, just as He is in the good times, but He is! And it is paramount to remember that His strength is made perfect in our weakness! In the last week or so, I have talked to many agents and loan officers that are so downtrodden. Business is hard now. They are working long hours just to make ends meet. Many are considering leaving the business or they already have.
As a result, my heart has been heavy and I asked God this morning to give me inspriration to share with others and to restore my spirit as well. I went to Youtube.com and this video came up. What a blessing! I have watched it several times this morning and wanted to share this with you all. God will make a way when there seems to be no way. And in this time of slowness in the economy, when so many are having hard times, let's all remember to encourage each other with these words and this message. God will make a way and will bring honor and glory to Himself through the hard times as well as the good! I for one look forward to watching Him work!
I hope this challenges you for the week and will help to renew your spirit!
Thanks for sharing your insight. God never ceases to amaze me. Every time I fail to see the way, He opens it up for me. Praise Him. Thank you for starting my day in such a positive way.
Steve,
These have been some difficult days. I was just telling my wife this past Friday that we have not had abundance of income lately (my income is 1/8 of what it was 2 years ago), BUT God has brought us income or provided for us just when we needed it. God is faithful!
Paul
This is one of the Best prayers I think I have ever read.
PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!! IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE. I started not to do this, but as I read it.... I understood God to say, 'You need a miracle tomorrow' so here goes...Prov. 29:25
You never know when God is going to bless you!! Good things happen when you least expect them to !!!!!!!!
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
And give me the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank You that I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes; that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it in Jesus' name. Amen!
Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!! God I love you and I need you, Come into my heart, please!
That was such a blessing. Even though we may know this in our heart, it is sometimes easy to fall trap to the lies of this world and panic. But, He comes through ALWAYS with HIS timing, not ours. His timing is always perfect.
Thanks for a most inspirational post with 2 fantastic Janet Pascal videos that I emotionally enjoyed. As Janet sang the words in her songs that I so strongly believe:
"the hurt won't last forever and it won't rain always. The sun is going to shine in God's own good time and he will see you throgh."
There is always the rainbow that follows the rain.
