Be still and know He is God...

Don't deny reality...but don't deny God's truth either. God's truth trumps the reality you're going through... unemployment, illnesses, delayed dreams, failed relationships, grief, insufficient college funds, anger, foreclosures, special needs child, addictions, past mistakes, family secrets, loss, overdrawn bank accounts, broken hearts, rebellious children, false accusations, rejection from a friend, etc. God's truth says...He will will never leave you, to not be afraid,  He holds everything together, He has good plans for  you, He's for you & not against you, you're more than a conqueror, He supplies all your needs-but you must completely trust Him even when you don't see a way; have faith in God constantly. You don't have to figure things out...God's already done that. Your part is to believe God has figured everything out; to trust He's covered you and not doubt Him-Jesus will help you. He says, "if you remain in Me and My Words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you." When God's Word is in you...you will desire what He wants for you and be confident it will be good for you-because you trust Him. Hold tight to His trust-don't allow doubt to rob you of trusting God and His truth. Believe God's promises-know Jesus is with you and hear the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Keep the Word on your lips, in front of your eyes, speak it and listen to it. The reality you're facing doesn't determine your destiny-God does; His truth trumps what you're facing. Whatever you do-don't lose hope or doubt Him...Be still and know He is God! (Mark 11:22, Isa 30:21, John 15:7. Ps 46:10) 5/28/13CIFL-LMM
