DARK DAYS OF SUFFERING

Disappointment, death, discouragement, despair all can produce dark days of suffering. These days can easily escalate into depression, sickness and loneliness if you don't immediately take control of the situation with prayer.

Yes prayer! The only answer when you have lost control and are on the verge of becoming paralyzed by fear and failure. You cannot become crushed by the weight of your suffering if you want to continue to live. You must find your refuge in prayer.

Prayer is simply crying out to God and telling Him all about the problem. Yes, He already knows but He waits for you to invite Him to help solve it. He will solve the problem if only you will allow Him to do so. Trust Him and you will never regret it. Turn your back to Him and you will always regret it.

What a tremendous blessing! It is so painful to suffer, particularly when it appears to go on and on. Your message reminds us all that there is hope and that GOD will not abandon us! Thank you and may GOD Bless you indeed!

Suffering is truley the darks days of our lives,its a time when the clouds of despair cover our minds and we begin to scramble around looking for answers to our problems within OURSELVES,instead of looking through the clouds and seeing JESUS'S loving hands streached out to us offering comfort and guidance through the strom. I want to remind you that it was JESUS who was seen from afar off by the disciples ,walking towards them offering peace in the mist of thier storm. And its this same JESUS who is there for us as well! But we have to look for HIM instead of looking inside of OURSELVES,becuase WE cannot do anything without JESUS!Amen and Praise the Lord.Thank you very much.
