When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty, trust Him fully

Glee greetings, .

Happy new month!

I welcome you to the last lap of the year. How has it been so for? As we enter the last month of the year, I want to share with you a word of encouragement

It's no news that this year has been challenging. We have faced unprecedented trials, losses, and uncertainties. We have been pushed to the edge of our comfort zones, our abilities, and our faith. We have felt like we are falling, and we don't know if we will ever land safely.

But, I want to remind you that God is with you in every situation. He is not pushing you to harm you, but to help you grow. He is not letting you fall, but to lift you up. He is not testing you, but to teach you.

God is the ultimate source of our strength, our hope, and our joy. He is the one who can turn our difficulties into opportunities, our weaknesses into strengths, and our fears into faith. He is the one who can catch our fall or teach us how to fly.

So, how do we trust God fully when we are pushed to the edge of difficulty? Here are some practical steps that I have learned from the Bible and from my own experience:

• Pray. Talk to God about your situation. Tell Him how you feel, what you need, and what you want. Ask Him for His guidance, His provision, and His peace. Thank Him for His love, His grace, and His promises. Pray without ceasing.

• Praise. Worship God for who He is and what He has done. Praise Him for His attributes, His actions, and His answers. Praise Him in the morning, in the evening, and in between. Praise Him in the storm, in the calm, and in the transition. Praise Him with your words, your songs, and your actions. Praise Him in spirit and in truth.

• Proclaim. Declare God's word over your situation. Speak His promises, His commands, and His wisdom. Speak life, not death. Speak faith, not fear. Speak victory, not defeat. Speak what God says, not what you see. Speak the word of God, which is living and powerful.

• Persist. Don't give up on God or on yourself. Keep trusting, keep hoping, and keep moving. Keep doing what is right, what is good, and what is pleasing to God. Keep fighting the good fight, keep running the race, and keep holding on to the faith. Keep the vision, keep the passion, and keep the mission. Persist in the grace of God, which is sufficient for you.

[Aside: Sorry for the P's. Anyho, we all need the P's. Peace be unto thee.]

These are some of the ways that we can trust God fully when He pushes us to the edge of difficulty. I hope that, by applying those in your life, you will be empowered you to face whatever challenges you may encounter in this month and the coming year.

, never forget to remember this; God is with you, God is for you, and God is in you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will never let you down.

He will catch your fall or teach you how to fly.

Thank you for doing November with me. Happy new month!

With ❤️
