FAITH IN THE DARKNESS OF LIFE

FAITH IN THE
DARKNESS OF LIFE


We LIVE in a dark
And violent world
With murder and killing
ALL over the world


NOT to mention the violence
IN our own American cities
And ALL the white collar crime
And relationship issues


The RESULT:
This world leaves
MANY of us
CRUSHED IN SPIRIT


“The Lord is CLOSE
to the brokenhearted:


And those who are crushed in spirit
HE SAVES” Psalm 34:19


HANG on to your FAITH
Hang on to the Lord
You are going to NEED him


I am SURE each of us
Have felt CRUSHED in spirit
At some time in our lives


But hang on
We can still find HOPE
In the Lord
We can still FIND COMFORT
In this dark world


We just need to practice
OUR FAITH DAILY=we need
To PRAY daily


HANG on to your faith
Pray with ALL of your might


“She said to herself
'IF I only
Touch his cloak-
I will be HEALED'


“Jesus turned and saw her-
'Take heart daughter-'
He said-
'Your FAITH has healed you'
And the woman
Was HEALED at that moment” Matthew 9:21-22


And our faith CAN heal us
Even today-and even SUSTAIN us
THROUGH the darkness of life


PRAY & have faith
LOOK to God-look to Jesus
You can still FIND COMFORT
In this world


“My comfort in my suffering
Is this:
Your PROMISE preserves my life” Psalm 119:50


“Comfort-comfort-my people
Says your God” Isaiah 40:1


“But the one who PROPHESIES
Speaks to people-for their strengthening-
Encouraging and comfort” 1 Corinthians 14:3


YES my friends
We must CULTIVATE our faith
Through God and our Lord Jesus


An step up and speak out
To ENCOURAGE OTHERS
And HELP others that
Are going though the darkness


Yes my friends=we must trudge on
IN FAITH-because the Lord
Is IN the darkness


The LORD is in the deepest-
Darkest spots of our own soul
That IS where and when
We all FIND GOD


And maybe one day like Jacob
We will be able
To look back to our brokenness
And say like Jacob


“Truly the Lord is in
This spot


Although I did not know it” Genesis 29:16


We NEED to hang on
To our FAITH-
And continue to PRAY
Through the dark moments
Of our life


And SURELY we will find God
We will find our Jesus
And find COMFORT-like Jacob
In the midst of
OUR BROKEN hearts and crushed spirits


I did-
I HOPE YOU WILL TOO
