Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). God will meet all your needs (Philippians 4:19). When you pass through the waters, I will be with you (Isaiah 43:2). Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you (John 14:27). He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore (Psalm 121:8). Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).
The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Phil. 4:5-6, NASB). Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him. (Job 13:15) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (Jn. 16:33) Jesus, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isa. 53:3). Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love (1 Jn 4:8, NIV). "Christianity does not give us a peaceful way to cope with death, it gives us a way to overcome it." ~ Hank Hanegraaff For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart (Jer 29:11-13).
But
what things were gain
to me, these I have
counted loss for Christ.
Yet
indeed I also count all
things loss for the
excellence of the
knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord, for whom
I have suffered the loss
of all things, and count
them as rubbish, that I
may gain Christ
and
be found in Him, not
having my own
righteousness, which
is
from the law, but that
which
is
through faith in Christ,
the righteousness which
is from God by faith;
that I may know Him and
the power of His
resurrection, and the
fellowship of His
sufferings, being
conformed to His death,
if, by any means, I may
attain to the
resurrection from the
dead (Php 3:7-11).
Solving Problems Through Prayer by Charles Stanley If you are angry with God, read Job 40. The roots grow deep when the winds are strong. "And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice." (1 Kings 19:12, KJV).
"God cannot
give us a happiness and
peace apart from Himself,
because it is not there.
There is no such thing." “We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be” -C. S. Lewis “The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.” -C.S. Lewis
"But as many
as received Him, to
them He gave the right to
become children
James 1:1-3
We may shake on the rock but the rock is never shaken (Ps 62:2). "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive lthe crown of life mwhich the Lord has promised to those who love Him (Jas 1:12)."
What God
Hath Promised An excerpt from John MacArthur's Series: Making Sense out of Suffering:
A few
years ago a song was
written that really says
it. I'll close with
this. It's called "The
Refiner's Fire." Listen
carefully to the words.

7 Things That We Can Learn From The Ant
He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (Mk 13:13, KJB). I will give you the victor's crown of life. (Re 2:10, ISV). Does my loved one have a body when he/she dies? Why Does God allow Suffering? by D. James Kennedy Excerpt: Ecclesiastes 6:1-6, Riches Without Enjoyment by Gino Geraci "Pain is God's megaphone." ~ C.S. Lewis The first man (Adam) was made: happy, healthy and holy. When you're body is right, you're healthy. When your soul is right, you're happy. When you're spirit is right, you are holy. That's the way God made us to function (Ge 1:31). All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Ro 3:23). God loves us even when we are sinners (Ro 5:8). But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Ro 5:8).
Invite Christ into your life. He is a friend of sinners (Mt 11:18-20). He is the source of all joy and peace (Jn 7:38). When you give your heart to Jesus Christ, he begins to take control of your life and make you the person he wants you to be--but your life doesn't have to be absolute perfection to go to heaven. The minute you trust Christ as your personal savior--in that moment you are: eternally saved, eternally secure and God now begins to work on you (2 Co 5:17). Adam died: immediately in his spirit, progressively in his soul, and ultimately in his body (Ge 2:19). At that time sorrow and pain began (Ge 3:17). When you get saved, you're justified immediately in your spirit, sanctified progressively in your soul, and glorified ultimately in your body (Rogers). One day, the heavens and the earth will be renewed (Re 21:1) and sorrow, tears, and pain will end (Re 21:4). Trust God to meet your needs today (Jn 10:10). If he will do that for flowers how much more will he do for you? Mt 6:28-30. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Mt 6:33). Stanley.
