When life keeps hitting you over and over again, what do you do? Because many times, life has a way of knocking us to our knees and sometimes on our faces. We wrestle with our kids, spouse, family, bills, and surviving day-to-day while fighting to maintain our emotional, physical and financial well-being. But the Bible reminds us that this race is not for the swift but it for those who diligently wait on him. Believing in the Lord and trusting in him with our hearts will give us the strength and endurance that we need to fight the struggles of life. The bible tells us to, “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV). He will be the one to see us though because there is nothing under the sun that he cannot do. He knows what we are going through for he is the all knowing God.
During those moments when you are face-to-face with the obstacles of life, we merely have to rely on the creator for help. We should not forget the one who is the author of our faith and the one who directs our pathway. The struggles of life can distract us and leave us in a disarray to the point where we forget where we are going. But, let us not lose focus because God will see us through. For when we are standing in that ring with our opponent called life, we take many blows to the chest, heart and our soul, but we still have to get back up. God has allowed us to continue in the fight each and every day when we open our eyes. Sometimes, worries may seem like a slap in the face when we look at the days ahead but we should not give up or grow weary. God has a greater plan for us and we will overcome by the words of our testimonies. God will use our struggles to help us minister to others and help others to come to Christ. Hold on to the Lord, pray and keep your faith in align with the Lord. For I pray today that God will see us though our rough times and just like a diamond under pressure we shall come out shining above our struggles.
Hang in there and lean on the Lord.

This is the truth. There are days when I want to turn back and say the hell with it all. Subsequently, God has been so good to my family. I could never repay him fo all his mercy, favor.
Sometime, it may seem easier to give up but that is not the answer. When we look back and see how crazy some of those situations are we have a testimony because we have overcome every one of them with the help of God and we are still standing. Hang in there and keep trusting God for you and your family.
