God Girl Life

When life devastates us, God can handle our disappointment. If it’s not what you prayed for, not what you hoped for, or not what you expected. Tell Him it how much it hurts. Ask Him why? He expects it. Then, ask Him to help you through it and what He wants you to learn. If you ask, He will answer. God is FOR YOU and is working in the good and the bad, even when we can’t see it. He ALWAYS brings beautiful things from our ashes.

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory. Isaiah 61:3 (NLT)

God’s protection may come through our disappointment. But sometimes joy comes from that same disappointment. We may not realize it at the time but when we look back, we see He always has a perfect plan for us. We just have to wait and see.

My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, says the Lord. And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9

 

When we fear, He’s our Warrior. When we are sick, He’s our Healer. When we are sad, He’s our Joy. When we have a need, He’s our Provider. When we hurt, He’s our Comforter. When we sin, He’s our Redeemer. When we are lost, He’s our Savior. No matter what we face, He’s our Jesus.

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. Psalm 37:3-5 NLT

Even in the darkest days of unfathomable tragedy and heartache. The ones that bring us to our knees and leave us asking why. God is working. He will take it and He will use it for His glory! Nothing and no one is ever wasted. It may even look like the enemy has won BUT GOD always wins!

Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world. 1 Peter 4:12-13 (NLT)

And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world! John 16:33 (TPT)

When everything seems to be going wrong, we can look to Jesus for comfort. When the waves are crashing and the fires are burning all around us, God is still in control. You may feel alone, but you are not. He will never leave you. Cry out to Jesus and He will calm the waves and put out the fires. He will make all things right.

I have reached to wherever you are in the farthest corners of earth, and the most hidden places therein. I have called to you and said, “You are my servant. I have chosen you, not thrown you away!” So don’t be afraid. I am here, with you; don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, help you. I am here with My right hand to make right and to hold you up. Isaiah 41:9-10 (VOICE)
