Tag: Bible verses about letting God help us through trials

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-20

Psalm 56:3 (NKJV) 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

Over the years there is something that I have noticed happening in the lives of many believers when we face a trial.

For some reason, many people tend to run away from God when they face something hard. They get scared, and they run.

This is a reaction of our flesh. The first thing our flesh wants to do when things get tough is to run away and put distance between the trial and ourselves. Oh, if only it was that easy to fix!

But see, when we run away, we are leaving behind the One who has the solution to our dilemma.

Instead of running away, we need to be running to Him!

God holds the answer to every problem we face during our lifetime. He has understanding that we don’t have. He has solutions that man can’t give us. And He understands us better than we understand ourselves.

So, it would benefit us if we would learn to go to Him, not away from Him because He can give us what we need to fix the problems we are facing. And the answers He gives us will be better than any that we can dream up ourselves or get from anyone else.

Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that it will always be easy, or that the answers He gives us will always give us instant fixes. Sometimes it will, but sometimes it won’t. And we need to be ready to accept that.

But there is one thing that can be guaranteed. And that is that when we go to Him, and we trust Him, the outcome will be much better than anything we could have schemed up ourselves.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-20

Hebrews 12:8 (NKJV) 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

The hardest part about facing a trial is to make sure we don’t try to get out of it too quickly.

That might sound odd, but most times there is something in that trial for us to learn. There is something for us to see, and there is something for us to hear.

We need to let what we learn become embedded in our hearts so we don’t ever forget it.

Imagine going through a trial and we just say, “take your time Lord. We want to learn whatever it is that we need to learn so we don’t have to visit this place again”.

We are God’s children, sons and daughters of the most High! He is a good Papa and good Papas will train up their children to be strong, to not faint, and to rise above any given situation that we may face.

If you’re facing a trial, wait on God. He will show up. He will show us if there is something in it we may need to see and something that we need to do.

Be watching, listening, and seeking Him. He is going to teach us how to walk out of hard places and hard times.

Remember, if we are His sons and daughters, there is always a time to learn and a time to apply what we learn. It is the way He does it.

Keep learning and growing closer to Him, and enjoy the journey from either side. We shall walk and not faint, we shall mount up with wings like eagles as we receive His correction and the strength to walk it out.

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Don’t give up when it gets hard. Wait on His strength. It will come and bring us through! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-19

Psalm 35:1 (NKJV) 1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

When we are being fought against aggressively it can wear us out. We can lose our joy. And when that happens, we can get hard on the inside and weak at trying to keep the right outlook on things.

This message today is for those who are in a battle, whether at work, in the home, at school, in their church, or in a spiritual battle of some kind.

It’s at times like this that we can lose sight and say the wrong thing or make the wrong moves. Because of our loss of strength, fatigue has set in and we just want it to be over.

But it’s at times like this that we need to pull back, hold our actions and our tongue from doing or saying the wrong thing, and let God go before us. He will fight for us and protect us in such a battle.

Find our rest in Him, even in a trying time such as this.

Psalm 9:10 (NKJV) 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-19

Psalm 118:5-6 (NKJV) 5  I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

When fear hits home, when problems come, when we have no idea how to fix something or change it, call on the Lord. Call on the name of Jesus!

Don’t wait one more second. The Lord will answer, and He will set us in a safe place. A place where we can discern and hear what it is that we need to do.

Follow Him and obey the answer He gives to help us, even if we might not understand it all.

He is on our side.

Psalm 121:2 (NKJV) 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Do not be afraid.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-19

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We very rarely put ourselves in a place where we have to be strong. If anything, we try to avoid such situations. But there may come a time when we will all find ourselves in such a place and we don’t know how to handle it. We think we are all alone and have no one to turn to. But that is not the case.

No matter what we have to face we can always turn to the Lord and face it with Him. He is there waiting to help us.

So, when it is time for us, we need to remember what the Lord says and hold it dear to our hearts. Be strong, not by our own strength, but be strong in Him who goes with us wherever we go.

He is here with us and for us, standing strong as always. Willing to uphold us with His hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Oh, Heavenly Father,

Thank you today for always being there for us. You’re always willing and ready to help Your son or daughter. You are so good to us, and we want You to know that we are grateful and blessed for the love that you have for us.

We love you. In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-19

Psalm 50:15 (NKJV) 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

One of the biggest mistakes we can make as believers is to try to solve all of our problems on our own.

So many times, when we get into a situation that’s troublesome or problematic, we totally forget that we have a Father who wants us to go to Him for help. And we try to face it on our own.

It’s a natural reaction for most of us to jump right into action and start problem solving. But God wants us to go to Him first, before we jump into action. In fact, when we do jump into action, the first thing we should do as part of our problem-solving steps is to ask Him for His help!

It can take some time for us to break free of our old ways and start doing things the way God wants us to. Habits are hard to break.

But if we will let God help us break this one, it will help make our lives easier, more enjoyable and, most importantly, more God-pleasing.

So, let’s learn to put God first, even in our problems. Let Him lead the way through the darkness and out into the light, where we can give Him all of the honor and glory for delivering us. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-21-19

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV) 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

We are truly blessed each day to be God’s children. He has set us up to walk in His blessings, His favor and His protection. He does not expect us to be alone while we journey in this world. It’s too much for us.

Communing with the Holy Spirit is an awesome and victorious way to walk out our day. He is there to help us. Some of the things that we go through in one day can be more than we can handle.

Having grace, love and the help of God’s Spirit is what it takes to get through it. What are we facing today that is taking all of our thoughts, our time and our labor?

If we want to get through it and move on, we need to make room for all three, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

It may be time to put aside our plan. It’s not working.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-18

Psalm 29:11 (NKJV) 11 The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.

Each day is a new day. Some days will be better than others. We may wake up in a great mood, ready to enjoy our day, and shortly after we enter into it we find out it is not going to go the way we hoped that it would.

Things come up; things that we can’t predict or expect at times. We cannot control what happens all the time. It’s just part of life.

It’s great to remember on those days, and every day, that we are protected even in those moments when fear, stress, and anxiety try to take over. We have our Lord to run to. He will give us strength and the peace we need to get through whatever we’re facing.

Don’t waste time fretting. Go to Him. Let Him do His thing. He’s there for us! Amen.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-4-18

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Many who read this are experiencing various kinds of trials. These trials may be minor or they may be very major. Some may seem “like a bump in the road”. Others may make us feel like we have had the wind knocked out of us.

Regardless of their intensity, it’s important that we know and understand God’s love for us, and His desires for us.

We need to make sure we understand that God’s desire for us is never evil. Yes, we will face things that are not pleasant. But these are not His things. He is good and full of light. There is no darkness found in Him.

1 John 1:5 (NKJV) 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

While trials can be very tough for us to understand sometimes, it’s still important that we know that each and every trial we face can actually be good for us. The key to this is to put God first in everything and hold tightly to Him in the midst of our trials.

Doing this helps us to keep things in perspective and to keep us from worrying or stressing as much as we would otherwise.

And in the end, God can use the trials that we face to mold us, shape us and draw us closer to Him, causing us to grow in our faith.

James 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-17

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Life, and the things that happen in it, sure has a way of bringing us to our knees. Sometimes it can cause us to do the opposite and harden up, run away and try to fix things on our own.

Have we ever gotten mad at God for something that He didn’t do for us? Maybe we prayed for a love one, or we prayed for a job. Maybe we even prayed that He would help us to pass a test or get good grades. Maybe we asked Him to save our marriage.

Yet, in all that praying, we still lost that loved one. We still failed that test, or our grades weren’t good enough to get us into that school we were so looking forward to going to. Or in all that praying, our marriage or relationship failed.

It didn’t seem like it changed anything at all. In return, it made us doubt God and turn from Him and never want to trust Him or have anything to do with Him again. We walked away and shut the door on Him for life.

These types of situations have happened to many people. We may never know why it seemed like God did not help us or show up for us when we felt like we needed Him.

The thing we have to remember is that when all was said and done, was He there to help pick up the pieces? Was He there to hold us? Was He there to open another door for us, or help us to get something precious out of what we were going through?

If we walk away from Him, we will never know. We will never see what He will do for us. If we walk away, there will be no opportunity for Him to walk us through the difficult times and allow us to see for ourselves how only He can turn things around.

Today, if we have turned away from God because of some things we have been through, and we feel He wasn’t there for us when we needed Him most, won’t we give Him a chance to show up? Will we stop and humbly come back to Him and tell Him how we feel and then let Him lift us up?

He does not fail us, ever. Give Him a chance.
