Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 1 Cor. 4:16-18

"If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty. resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self pity. Alternately, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from my perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward Me, and see the light of MY presence shining upon you." Sara Young (Jesus Calling)

When we focus on the problem is always gets worse. Watch the lies that are planted in a problem... You are no good, this always happens to you, you'll never get past this one, its all your fault..etc. Satan is the master accuser. Those words do not come from God. God will comfort, He will wrap around you, nurture you, and bring you to a place of love, confidence in him, and action. Sometimes if feels like you cant hear God through the storm of lies. Refocus. Think of where God has brought you, what from, and begin to thank him. Lay it all out in front of him. Beg him for his touch, for his complete hand to guide you to the point where your trust is ONLY in him, not in yourself.

You have done this alone for long enough. We are called to carry one another's burdens, through Christ. Will today be the day you get rid of the things that have been dragging you down, or will you go off for awhile again just to see if you can do it all on your own? With every drop of blood you have been bought, purchased, made whole, made perfect before God. Please go before the throne and give him your ALL. Then move aside and see "what great things he has for those who trust in Him."
