‘God’s Presence Can Sustain You’

No matter what is going on in your world, God is with you.

In his book Hope in the Dark: Believing God Is Good When Life Is Not, Craig Groeschel writes, ‘In your most desperate moments, God’s presence can sustain you. Just as resistance in the gym makes your muscles grow stronger, resistance in life strengthens your faith in God. Over time, as you grow in the grace of God, what normally would have rocked your world becomes something you can take in stride, knowing God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When God is for you, you can handle anything. You can face your life. You can face your fears.

When the road ahead is dark, foggy, God is with you. When you do not know what to do, when you are confused, God will answer you.

‘… God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When things are not working for you, God is working for you.

Yes, it is hard to believe in God when things are hard. But if you can ‘take your next step by faith’, if you can follow God, He will never let you down.

‘… if God makes you a promise, it will happen.’

What are you doing to receive it? According to Craig Groeschel, When God says something to you, record it, because your spiritual enemy is an expert at stealing the seeds of truth that God wants to plant.’

Challenge yourself. Test yourself. 
Life is like a rock. To live it, you must climb it.

Challenge yourself to climb the rock of life.
Challenge yourself to take risks 
even when you do not know what is going to happen next. 

Challenge yourself to bring out the real you, to love, 
to forgive, to be comfortable with yourself. 

Challenge yourself to do the imppossible 
even when people don't believe it will work. 

Challenge yourself to believe in yourself. 

Challenge yourself. 
Because that is where growth is going to come from. 
If you want to grow, you must challenge yourself. 
You must get out of your safe zone, 
if you are not growing there. 
You must try yourself. 
You must test yourself. 
And you must get believe in yourself, no matter what.
