When crisis occurs how do you get through it?
By going to the most important thing there is, It only has four letters but it is all we need. It has power to heal and the power to make demons flee. It is called "The WORD"When crisis occurs how do you get through it?
Thank God for His precious Word!By going to the most important thing there is, It only has four letters but it is all we need. It has power to heal and the power to make demons flee. It is called "The WORD"
We are so blessed to have the God's word at our disposal 24/7 It truly is our guide book to life
When crisis occurs how do you get through it?
By making it more tolerable than it otherwise would have been. Since everyone runs into conflicting circumstances his life through, some of them are so heavy they can weigh a person down so bad we are brought into a state such as Jesus' description; "poor, miserable, blind". I have certainly had my share.When crisis occurs how do you get through it?
Thanks for that counsel,'rock'By making it more tolerable than it otherwise would have been. Since everyone runs into conflicting circumstances his life through, some of them are so heavy they can weigh a person down so bad we are brought into a state such as Jesus' description; "poor, miserable, blind". I have certainly had my share.
I hope those who were raised in Christian homes and setting know how fortunate they are. Some of us had to scrape bottom a while and patiently progress our way to a fulfilled existence. Even now, I do recall that gifted councilor of the Lord while I was dog-thirsty for life, for after a few moments lifted me right up out of my heavy gloom and though I for got about half of what I was comforted over, the effect itself of his ministering stayed with me for years. That was 44-yrs ago.
So don't think your ministering has little to no effect. If we are grounded in the word and bolstered by the might of His Spirit as well as having done well to being brought into the realm of their company, God knows how to impress our words. Pray ahead of time.
But as for having a crises these days as I eluded to; all those those things that hold the possibility of being exacerbated into a crises, social, relational, economical, natural and so-on, if I happened to find myself there let me tell you, we who have made Jesus Lord of our lives have certain friendly installations over our lives than we did before (promises, precepts) which take us to to more solid footing than for those without, by far.
We tend to keep thinking, God could relieve me of this so easy as a snap, well guess what, you're right! Then you probably also know He sometimes allows the trying of our faith and patience, be that smaller than some or the worst in history, or near the end of life, very-very hard encounters of hardship. After about a year of my scraping the bottom of the barrel due to my rebelliousness, my Christian Grandma, (Mary) told me "You almost didn't make it", but she knew I must have cried out to God, and I did and He heard my cries alone and before Pastors.
Every case is particular on its own, the higher the walls of hopelessness, the more brash behavior the victim will take.
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
Matthew 6:22,23
Truthfully...in the first instance...panic....well in my mind, running round in circles like a puppy dog, then I heard the Lord say, 'why don't you ask me?' now why didn't I think of that? Too busy running round in circles. .When crisis occurs how do you get through it?
So very true!I would always pray in a crisis but it is not the only thing I would do.
I have learned over the years the importance of talking things through with someone you know and trust. Carrying burdens alone can have a very big impact on one's psychological and even physical health. A burden shared is a burden halved - as the saying goes.
Honesty is as rare as ever, glad you heard!Truthfully...in the first instance...panic....well in my mind, running round in circles like a puppy dog, then I heard the Lord say, 'why don't you ask me?' now why didn't I think of that? Too busy running round in circles. .
Morning and evening devotions, regular partaking in Word and Sacrament, talking with friends, family and my life partner.When crisis occurs how do you get through it?
