When Things Get Tough


I am reminding myself with God’s promising words these days. I know things are tough and not edifying. What would you do when you have responsibilities in one hand. On the other side, you do not seem to be getting enough support and hand. I know the religious world would not help the one. They probably will add burden over the burden. Sometimes, religion would try to add another layer of the structural advice. Isn’t it interesting to be a christ-ian that you have got the rock to rely on, to hold on, to embrace on. He would not despise you, no matter how filthy you are. He is such a loving God, disregard of your cast and color. May you be enriched by reading these wonderful promises from our Master.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ”
Matthew 11:28
Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.”

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”

Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall.”

“…for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
