What better way to make it through life, than to trust God to give us strength and help. He said he was with us, so he knows the troubles we sometimes endure in our Christian walk. It is the same as many other people endure, because it is called life.

I know with confidence that without God in my life, I could not handle all the trials that I may be called to go through in a lifetime; yet, he promises to uphold us. I don’t know about you, but I’m glad that the Lord is on my side fighting battles on my behalf. I welcome his presence in my life. Not everyone will agree with me, but that is okay, because I know what the Lord has brought me through; I know the victory I feel in my heart every time I take my next breath. I am so blessed to have a God who cares about me.

For so long in my life, I really didn’t put my faith in anyone or anything. As I have grown older, I realize that it’s time to take down the self-inflicted barriers and allow the Lord to work on my behalf.

I love the Lord; he is precious to me. I may not know how it will all work out, but as long as I keep trusting, it will work out, because God can’t lie. “All is well” no matter what circumstances I am called to face. All is well, because he lives.
