Galatians 6:9
I Love the way Joyce Meyers puts it about what to do during our desert times...in our times of trouble...She simply states:
"Keep in mind that in the heat of our struggles, the Holy Spirit is probably doing His greatest work within us. He is not moved by the circumstances. If you and I really trust Him, we shouldn't be either! He's not in our lives for good times only, but for the difficult times as well.
He will lead us through anything if we'll just hang in there and follow Him. This means being diligent in prayer, relentless in our resolve, unwavering in faith, and determined to stand firmly on God's Word and His promises to us."
If we persevere through the tough times we will come out in the end a changed person...better than we were before. It is within these rocky places that we grow in our faith and trust in God.
Instead of giving up we need to have a different perspective...a different view...of the problem. "How can I grow through this? How is God using this situation to help me grow? What is God trying to tell me about myself in the midst of this struggle?" It is when we have a different perspective that the struggle looks different. Instead of fear, we can face it head on knowing that what ever happens, God will make good come out of it...
