Psalm 92:1 (NIV) — 1 It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,
Colossians 2:6–7 (NIV) — 6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
There are so many times when we are tempted to give up, when we think we can take no morea nd just want to pack things in
It could be a job, family situation, health, financial etc etc
That is right you can’t do it without God. You can do nothing without the Lord.
God will help us in all our trials. Sometimes I think to myself, “why did you allow this to happen God?” Then, I find out why and feel stupid.
Don’t trust in your situation and don’t look to what is seen.
All the trials you go through in life are making you stronger.
You will see God working in your life if you’re a Christian.
You won’t remain in those trials. Don’t give up. You will go through trials and get out and then go back in them, but always remember the mighty hand of God is at work.
Don’t waste your trials go into that prayer closet and cry out to God.
Glorify God in your suffering, “not my will God, but your will.” God will help you have faith.
Yes it is important to read His Word, but you must call on the Lord daily. You must build your prayer life. God will not leave His children.
Don’t take my word for it believe in His promises.
When everything is going good in life you will probably boast in yourself. When things are going bad that’s when you will glorify God and trust in Him more because you know it’s only the Almighty God that can help you and He gets all the credit when you get through it.
Pray and fast, sometimes God doesn’t answer in our way or our time, but He answers in the best way and at the best time.

God will not forsake you
Hebrews 13:5-6 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

2 Corinthians 4:8-12 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Don’t give up in tough times
James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
