We perceive our world through our emotions. If we are fearful, then we might diminish God’s power with our limiting beliefs. In our mind, we may feel that the government or our leaders are in complete control based on what we hear on the news. Whatever we focus on will expand in our lives. Therefore, if we want more peace and joy, then we need to focus on God and His word.

When we go to the scriptures and read about times past, then we can see that God was always in control. With one command He can change any situation. No one is beyond His power. In the Bible, when the people followed God, He provided for them the victory. He will do the same for us. We just have to seek Him and His ways.

God wants to be in the very center of our lives. If we allow Him to lead us and guide us, then we will always go the right way. It’s when we go off on our own way that we get into trouble. If something is not a definite yes in our lives, then it should be a no. When we struggle with decisions and feel confused, then that is not of God. God is not the author of confusion.

His ways are easy. So easy, in fact, that we often trip over them because we expect things to be hard. Therefore, we are usually the ones who make things hard on ourselves. God, however, has grace for our every need. Nothing in our lives is too big for Him to handle. He can help us to overcome every struggle if we just go to Him.

I love it when I get connected with Him. I love it when I sit down to write without one thought and then suddenly they are flooding me. I love it when I am trying so hard to do something and He comes by and does it with ease for me. I love it when He helps me to change my perspective and my situation with one thought. I just can’t seem to find the words to explain His greatness. His goodness is beyond my explanation.

Friends, if you are struggling with something in your life, then I urge you to take it to the Lord. Ask Him to help you and believe wholeheartedly that He can do it. Sometimes He changes the situation and sometimes He changes our thoughts about the situation.
