THE LORD IS GOOD, A REFUGE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. HE CARES FOR THOSE WHO TRUST HIM! ( NAHUM 1:7 *NIV )
We all face troubling times in our lives from time to time. We often wish that we could escape these troubles like the pain of grief, loss, sorrow and failure; or maybe even the small daily frustrations that constantly bother us.
When you are experiencing problems like that remember that: THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT. ( PSALM 34:18 )
After all: THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HIS EARS ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY. ( PSALM 34:15 ) For: THE RIGHTEOUS CALL OUT, AND THE LORD HEARS THEM; HE DELIVERS THEM FROM ALL THEIR TROUBLES. ( PSALM 34:17 )
Now you may be thinking how does that apply to me, for I do not feel very righteous. Well, through Jesus Christ we have become righteous, for it is written: GOD MADE HIM WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 ) Therefore when we repent of our sins they are not only cleansed from “The Book of Life,” we also become righteous once again as well!
So remember the words of our Savior Jesus Christ, “DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. TRUST IN GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME.” ( JOHN 14:1 ) and let Him deliver you from all your troubles! For: A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY HAVE MANY TROUBLES, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM FROM THEM ALL. Amen! ( PSALM 34:19 )
Your prayers are powerful.

THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE. ( JAMES 5:16 *NIV )
I truly believe that our prayers are the most powerful things on Earth! After all what is a Miracle but a prayer that has been answered!
Thus it is written: DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANY- THING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ) After all, THE LORD IS FAR FROM THE WICKED BUT HE HEARS THE PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS. ( PROVERBS 15:29 )
Now I know that when our prayers aren’t answered the way we would like, it can disappoint us, we are sad and often depressed. However it is written that we should: BE JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU IN JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 )
Therefore, never feel that God doesn’t hear your prayers because a prayer isn’t answered immediately, or because it isn’t answered the way you would like. For your Heavenly Father always knows what is best for you, and HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So, remember to always GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME, for He will always hear the prayers of those who love and adore Him! ( 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 )
In closing my prayer is that: THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 ) Now and always! Amen!
Be strong in the Lord

BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. ( 1 PETER 5:8 *NKJV )
As you know we all face temptations from time to time. When we are tempted it is important to remember that they come from satan, and not God. For it is written: LET NO ONE SAY WHEN HE IS TEMPTED, ‘I AM TEMPTED BY GOD.’; FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE HIMSELF TEMPT ANYONE. BUT EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS DRAWN AWAY BY HIS OWN DESIRES AND ENTICED. ( JAMES 1:13-14 )
So when satan tries to tempt you SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. ( JAMES 4:7 ) After all our Savior Jesus Christ gave us power over the devil when He said, I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY, AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU. ( LUKE 10:19 )
FINALLY MY BROTHERN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. ( EPHESIANS 6:10-11 ) Then you will be able to take names and kick serpent, when satan tries to tempt you! Amen.

BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER. ( ROMANS 12:12 *NIV )
We have hope because of our faith in our Savior Jesus Christ, and HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN US. ( ROMANS 5:5 )
Now when we are afflicted, we have God’s promise that: THE RIGHTEOUS MAN IS RESCUED FROM TROUBLE, AND IT COMES ON THE WICKED INSTEAD. ( PROVERBS 11:8 ) For it is also written: I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU. ( HEBREWS 13:5 )
Therefore, DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ) After all, it is written: THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE. ( JAMES 5:16 )
So, never let disappointments cause you to lose hope, for God is always with you. Therefore my friend, REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS. I WILL SAY AGAIN REJOICE. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:4 )
Amen!
God’s Letter to You

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE COMPLETE, THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. ( 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 *NKJV )
The Apostle Paul makes it clear in those verses that God is the author of the Bible! The Apostle Peter further stated that, NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION, FOR PROPHECY NEVER CAME BY THE WILL OF MAN, BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPOKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. ( 2 PETER 1:20-21 ) After all only God Himself could have possibly written a book containing prophesies, which have all come true except those regarding the End Time!
Further, it ministers to us no matter what is happening in our lives. FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD. ( HEBREWS 4:12 ) Therefore why not try to read your Bible on a daily basis, for it is indeed God’s Letter to You!
So remember, IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. ( MATTHEW 4:4 ) Therefore, as JESUS taught us we are happy to say, GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. ( MATTHEW 6:11 ) So why not enjoy a heaping helping by reading your Bible?
Amen.
