A God Blog

What do you do when you are going through hardship? When there are no easy answers in sight? Where do you go when things are beyond your control and you just don’t know what to do anymore? What do you think that God would want you to know?

I’ve been thinking about these very questions because lately I have seen a number of my friends and family going through some very difficult things: Awful family problems, severe health issues, financial turmoil, and even personal demons they are wrestling with.

So I thought that if God had a blog today, He might want just remind us all of what He’s already said in the Bible. So, if you’re personally going through some tough stuff or know of a friend who is, then take a good long look at these passages of Scripture and just let soak in your mind. I’m confident that the Spirit of God will speak to your heart as you give Him the chance. Enjoy!

God is:

  • FOR ME
    “Since God is for us, who can stand against us?” Romans 8:31
  • WITH ME
    "When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." Isaiah 43:2
  • BESIDE ME
    "The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade." Psalm 121:5
  • BENEATH ME
    "The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you." Deuteronomy 33:27
  • AROUND ME
    "Just as the mountains surround and protect Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds and protects his people, both now and forever." Psalm 125:2
  • BEHIND ME
    "Your God will walk before you, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind." Isaiah 58:8
  • WITHIN ME
    "The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you." Romans 8:11

I'd love to hear what you think and about how this may speak to you. Leave a comment; it might resonate with others!
