Above and Beyond Our Circumstances

"Should we accept only good from God and not adversity?" 
-- Job 2:10 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
 

All of us face difficult days.  Sometimes even the most devout Christians can become discouraged, and you are not the exception.  After all, you live in a world where expectations can be high and demands can be even higher.  If you find yourself enduring difficult circumstances, remember that God remains in His Heaven. If you become discouraged with the direction of your day or even your life, turn your thoughts and prayers to Him. He is a God of possibility, not negativity.  He will guide you through your difficulties and beyond them . . . far beyond.

Lord, when we are troubled, You can heal us. When we are afraid, You can protect us. When we are discouraged, You can lift us up.  During the difficult days of our lives, we will trust You. And whatever our circumstances, we will thank You for Your blessings, for Your love, and for Your Son.
