I know that you are pleased with me,
for my enemy does not triumph over me. (Psalm 41:11)
The enemy tries to play on our
thought processes and he often succeeds in bringing depression and anxiety in
our lives. Sometimes nothing that we do seems to work. We pray faithfully,
praise & thank God, worship, read the Word, fast, do good to others,etc.
etc. yet we encounter delays in our prayers being answered. And then comes
frustration which makes us think that all that we do is no good.
Have you experienced or are
experiencing such a situation?
It's not going to last for a long
time dear Brother, dear Sister. It's just a limited period of time during which
we must continue to live faithfully to God and we will surely see His
deliverance.
Frustrations come to all of us. It's
just a part of life. More important is what we do with these frustrations! We
can overcome them by prayer and waiting upon the Lord or we can go in to sin
and then blame the frustrations for sinning.
Of course, the Lord understands our
frustrating situations. He had gone through it several times when He was doing
ministry for 3 1/2 years.
Even the Apostle Paul experienced it.
He wrote thus;
At my first defense, no one came to
my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the
Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message
might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was
delivered from the lion's mouth. (2 Timothy 4:16,17)
Remember, the Lord is with you and
will give you the required strength to overcome what you are experiencing
today. So cheer up; Jesus loves you.
