You Are Never Alone

  For Sam,
I love you, and I'm so sorry for you loss.
You are in my every thought and prayer. You are never alone.

   Worry, Anger, Sad. These are normal things to feel throughout life, but no one likes it. Since we are human, we feel upset, angry, and worried. Common emotions that we find stressful, and it frustrates us, making us feel worthless, lonely, and like no one cares anymore. Say you've gone through losing someone, or for others, being bullied, or abuse. It starts with worry, mixes with being upset and angry while you think why me? But its your choice on how to end it. Most people chose the path to end their sorrow by feeling there is no good in the world. They decide to feel like they are worthless and alone. But I hope to change your mind.

   "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." 

Philippians 4:6-7

   There is no one like our God. He knows these things will happen to you, but  he says, don't you worry about anything. Pray to me, and I will help you. Now, why does he just let loses or bullies or abuse happen to us? (Or anything for that matter.)  He does everything for a good reason. He is a purposeful God. He wants you to know that greater things have yet to come, but they're on their way, so pray about your worries, then stop worrying, because then you will experience God's peace. He will guard your heart and your mind as you live in him. If you have a flame for Christ Jesus, nothing will penetrate it. You'll be put down, and still praise the Lord. How wonderful is that?

  "So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."

1 Peter 1:6-7

   As I told you, our God is a great and purposeful God. These trials that you are going through are to strengthen you, not to harm you. Remember those little emotions I mentioned like worry, anger, and sadness? Rejoice when you are put through this and your faith is still strong. This proves to God that your faith is genuine. When you remain faithful through these tough trials on Earth, you will be so greatly rewarded in Heaven. You are not a wondering soul. You are unique and special and beautiful in God's eyes. Every trial that you face, big or small, God is there. Sometimes when you feel is is so far away, that's when you must keep praising and worshiping the Lord. This makes you a treasure in his eyes, and he will be smiling down on you. I know that when I feel the smallest touch of the Holy Spirit, I become the most eccentric person! I just want to show the world that God cares no matter what I've been through. I learned that these trials he puts us through leads us to God. He will do anything in order for you to look up.
   Its like being stuck in a ditch. God throws you a rope, and Satan throws a ladder. That rope is harder to climb, but the reward is so great. The ladder is a breeze to climb, but Satan isn't holding on to it, so its not steady, and he lets you fall. But God is holding onto that rope and just wanting you to make it up to him inch by inch.

   "Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart."

Mark 11:22-23 

  Once again I say, our God is so great! What it says is if you need something and ask God for it, he will give it to you. But here's the catch, you cannot be greedy and ask for a new car or a million dollars. If you pray to God for hope, strength, protection, love, or anything like that, he will surely provide it to you. He is generous, and he won't take it back from you unexpectedly. You must believe in him though. If you have the littlest bit of doubt in your heart, he won't provide it. Doubting God is... well.. its wrong! 
   So many times I've heard people say "Oh.. I don't think God can fix this problem.." But then I ask them if they believe in God. They say yes.. and I say, well, if you believe in God, do you believe he created the Earth? From each crater in the Grand Canyon to the auroras in the Northern lights? They say yes. And then I ask, what makes you think that he can't fix this problem if he sculpted the Grand Canyon and painted the Northern Lights? 
  So have faith in God. He can move mountains. He can form and calm the storms and seas. He can fix whatever is going on in your life if you believe in him and trust in him. Ask him into your life, and climb that rope to God as I was saying before. 


   So here is our Great God. He is purposeful and knows what trials we are going to face in our lives and what great things will happen. So he doesn't want us to worry. Think, if you knew everything that was going to happen in the future of your best friend and they began to worry about something, you'd ask them to calm down because you know whats going to happen and it will be okay. Well God tells us this. The next verses explained that the trials we face are for our good and strength. Sometimes we need to hit rock bottom in order to look up. When you keep strong through these trials, rejoice, because you have passed the test God makes to know your faith is genuine. He will reward you in Heaven. 
   I also mentioned the ditch with the ladder and the rope. Most people decide to climb the ladder, but Satan stops holding it and lets you fall over and over again. But that rope that God is holding is so hard to climb, but he has such a strong hold of it, and he will promise not to let you fall. He will give you all the advice to climb the rope to him, and inch by inch, you find yourself closer to the Holy Spirit. The last verses explained to have faith in God. If you have trust in him and believe him, you can move mountains. He will give you hope, strength, protection, love, but you cannot be greedy for a new car or a million dollars. He painted the Northern Lights and sculpted the Grand Canyon, he can surely fix your problems if you pray to him and believe in him with no doubt in your heart.

   Isn't our God so great?
