Are you in a wilderness experience, pruning, or valley? It's not easy but it's one way we become overcomers (Rom 8:37). One purpose is self examination. Sometimes things will be revealed that we need to take care of such as repentance and/or forgiveness of God, others, and ourselves.. Also, it makes us rely on Him more such as He is our rock (Psa 71:3). We also realize more about His Word. When doubt comes, immediately replace those thoughts with His truth such as My spirit believes Your Word Lord (
John 6:63). I trust You and Your Word (Psa 119:42), Your Word is truth (Psa 119:160), I praise You (Psa 119:7).
During these times, some Scriptures will take on deeper meaning such as I Thess 5:18 "In every thing give thanks:.." We"re acknowledging God is good no matter what is going on. These times are not easy and last for varying lengths of time. Encourage you to just continue to thank Him, hallow His name, read His Word, etc. After this period, one thing for sure the end
result will be - you will be even stronger in Him because He promises, He'll draw close to you-
Here's a few Scriptures you might want to mull over -
-"But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
Luke 12:7 (The number of hairs on your head is constantly changing).
-You are wonderfully and fearfully made (Psa 139)
The Lord your God is in the midst of you and He is mighty; He saves, He rejoices over you with joy; He will joy over you with singing." Zep 3:17
-The spirit of God made you, and His breath gives you life.
Job 33:4
So that next breath is from Him. And the one after that - it's from Him, too. Again.
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you."
James 4
