Are you looking at the struggle or the Savior? When you look up, hope will replace discouragement. Faith will replace fear. Worship will replace worry. Victory will replace defeat. Not only that, but in due season, you’ll step out of the wilderness and into your promise, because you didn’t give up.

Don’t you realize that the Lord is more than enough for you? Even when things are hard, God reigns over your situation. He is in full control, and He promises to take care of you. Therefore, submit to His sovereign authority, and know that you have nothing to worry about.

It is time to make a decision right now. Will you choose faith or fear? Will you doubt or believe God? Will you fret or rest? Will you be anxious about everything or anxious about nothing? God has already given you the gift peace through His son, but you have to receive it.

In today’s devotion, Dianna Hobbs says, in dark seasons, remind yourself that you are in the hands of a good God who is sovereign, all-powerful and strategic. He is never off duty. God is always working. And though you may not know His full plan for you, He certainly has an incredible one.

He keeps every promise. If He said it, then He will do it. Trust Him, and don’t stress over your circumstances. You serve the greatest provider, way-maker, door-opener, body-healer, and the only true Savior. No matter what happens know that God has you covered.

Run to God as your refuge in the storm, and watch Him bless you. Watch Him deliver you. Watch Him heal you. Watch Him lift you. Watch Him favor you. Watch Him make ways for you. Watch Him take care of you. Watch Him shelter you from the storm.

If you will but submit to God’s process, and stop protesting simply because you don’t understand, in the end, you will see the heavens open up. God’s glory will be revealed in your life. He will do extraordinary things for you and reveal a side of Himself you have never seen.

If you are going through something difficult, let go and let God. That isn’t always easy, especially when you feel like you need to be in control of the outcome. But when you let go and surrender, that’s when He will reveal Himself as Jehovah Jireh, a provider; Jehovah Raphe, a healer; Jehovah Shalom, your peace; Adonai, Lord and Master of all. If you want Him to release His power, release your control!

All you need to do in order to reap the rewards God has for you is believe Him. Don’t doubt His power and strength. Do less scheming and more leaning. Stop trying to figure it out and talk it over with Jesus. He will lead and guide you. He alone can help you!

When you submit yourself, the Lord will bless you. When you say yes to Him, the full benefits of being adopted into the family of God will show up. He’ll open doors for you. God will elevate you, increase you, favor you, and shower you with His goodness, so that others will see Him through your life.

Going through it right now? Don’t let doubt, worry, fear, stress and anxiety take over. Instead, rest in the Lord. Remain confident in Him, knowing that He is fully able to do what He promised. He will make a way for you, somehow, someway.

Perhaps there is a lot coming at you all at once. You feel the opposing pressure and are surrounded by chaos. The enemy is threatening you and coming after you will all his might. Before you get worried, anxious or discouraged, remember that God’s power is at work. This won’t break you!

Are you going through a season when you don’t understand what God is doing? Are you experiencing a delay, setback or detour that has you confused about His will? Why isn’t He answer your prayer? Why is He not doing it the way you expected Him to?

You’re coming out of this. No matter how low you are or how much is going wrong, God has a plan to deliver you. Know that you will not be confined to this dark, low place, with no sign of deliverance, forever.

You might be face-to-face with obstacles that look insurmountable. But it’s not what it looks like. You won’t be defeated. You will not lose. You won’t be overtaken, for the Lord is on your side.
