When you are going through trials in your life do you ever look back at this bible scripture 1 Cor 10 vs 13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
After reading it does it gives you comfort to your soul knowing that no matter where you are or whatever sins you have committed in your life there is a God still there looking out for you. I have been through alot and I never know about this scripture through my valleys but since walking back in my Christian faith whenever the trials comes I just remember this scripture which gives comfort to my soul and believe that God is there in my storms.
I just want to leave this scripture with you to encourage you my friends that No Matter what you are going through Jesus is there just have faith and believe and you will weather the storm.
I wish you all a Peaceful and Happy Day.

Hi ivbsav I am thankful to God for being able to place this on my heart so that it can be a blessing to you. Continue to hold on despite the difficulties. What I start telling myself is that it is not about the person but about that kingdom which are trying to fight for our souls and so we should at all times resist it. Take care

I found it happened to us. My husband had a stroke and it was severe one in that he lost his balance, and he was thinking of moving into a senior's place where he could see his friends, but I was worried. He did not think I could care for him and do the lawn as well, but for me it was easy. God showed me that I could do things and now our friends and the disability people are helping so we can stay, and my husband was wise in his investments financially so we can now fix up our house and stay here.
So God does give one the strength and sometimes you never know you had it until something comes up.

I am so happy that things work out for you suspenseful because I know that you were a bit unhappy to move. God is wonderful and each day learning about him and seeing his miracles as such and not taking them as granted allow me to appreciate him more. Yes we never know about our strength until God open our eyes. Take care.

God never did abandon us especially on those times when we need to conquer the surging waves. Whenever your back is against the wall just bear in mind that God answers our prayers depending on what we need not on what we want. God really loves us so much that even if we turn our backs against him, still, He cares for us as if we never have done something wrong. Let's not forget that one God who never fails to enlighten our life.

Hello babyfaz welcome to mylot. You are so correct God never abandon us it is us who always do. He is a wonderful and forgiving God all he asked of his is to serve him whether when things are great or through the valleys. Thank you for your response.

I am glad that God has place this on my heart so that you can be able to have a blessed Friday. I never used to read the bible myself until I started working with my client and I realized the comfort that the words of God has. I will encourage you to start practicing it. Even to subscribe to one of those sites that send out daily scriptures. Take care.

What a fitting scripture in this time when so many people are going through so many trials ,some people are going through marital problems ,some sickness and so may are going through financial hardships.Like you said it does help to know that God is there for usno matter what and that we will get through it ,it gives us the strenght too to see the light in the tunnel.
And even without this scripture I like to remember the story with the man and his banana who thought that life was so hard he ate his last banana and went into a tree to hang himself only to look below and fin a man eating the banana peel he just threw away
Moral of story :God is always there and you are not the worse.
HAVE A VERY GOOD DAY KERRY ,YOU WILL ALWAYS SURVIVE ...YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON

Thanks Ron. I remember when I was going through my depression when a lady point out this story to me at first I was upset and was unappreciative of what she was trying to say to me. Looking back now I come to recognize that no matter what one is going through there is always one who is going through worst than you and instead of complaining try and find the best way of overcoming it.
You are a great person yourself. I hope your weekend was a wonderful one.
