One of those days...

We all have difficult days. Some perhaps more than others. I have had several of "those days" in a row this week.

I remember a similar day when I was grade nine. I don't remember any of the circumstances, but my Algebra I teacher (I use the BJU curriculum--teacher's instruct the students through recorded lessons) listed several passages of verses that really meant a lot to me. So...when you are having a challenging day read these and remember that God is in control. ;)

Psalm 86

3. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

4. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, I Lord do I lift up my soul.

5. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

7. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

10. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefor will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Lamentations 3:22-25

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 55:8-11

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

There are so many other verses that I could list, but I hope these encourage you in some way. God is always with us. Even when we can't see Him, He is still there, waiting to carry us through every circumstance in our life.

God bless,
