Seeing God's Power Amidst Pain

Just had to write this down and share this! Devotions tonight were once again a great encouragement to me! I get my devotional through emails from Girlfriends in God. Today's devotion was by Mary Southerland and was called "Power in Pain". It was so great to read that while we will experience pain and trials in our life...God is there with us and ready to help us. The only thing we need to do is reach out and take His hand! Sometimes we can just be so stubborn and ignore His help that He offers and we want to try to do it all on our own! I came to realize that even in the current situation that I'm dealing with I need to just reach out and take His hand and let Him walk me through it! And I've been able to get through my struggle 9 days in a row only by great prayer and time with God! He's really doing a great work in me and I want nothing to get in the way of what He wants me to be!

Trials can be hard to deal with sometimes but with God's help and His continual love, grace, and mercy will get us through! Hebrews 12:11. Rejoice in God for all that He's done for you...I didn't realize all that He's done for me until I actually stopped and reflected on it! 1 Thessalonians 5:16. Praise God for all that He's done in your life and trust Him to help you through!
