I found out that I was not completely helpless and in helping her I helped myself. Well.... actually God helped us we had nothing to do with it. He worked through us to help one another. I just want to share a verse of scripture from youth group tonight that I think really helped us both regain that hope and patience we cried out for.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:12
This scripture brought me that peace, and hope, and joy that I have been longing for all week. Be joyful in hope. Be joyful in God and in his miracles and blessings. Rejoice that we get to spend eternity with Him and that our days of suffering and fearing are numbered. He restores us and makes us whole and He never gives up on us.
Be patient in affliction or tribulations. Trouble times come. God never promised there wouldn't be storms. But at the end of the storm a beautiful rainbow will shine for us. Patience produces endurance and we need to be patient during these hard times. They will pass and better ones are yet to come.
Be faithful in prayer or another translation I have is be constant in prayer. Pray to God in your struggles and in your joy. Talking one on one with God is amazing and He listens even when we feel no one else will. God longs to talk with us and to have our hearts. He already knows us better then we know us. He created all that we are and He will help us through those hard times. Pray to Him. Talk to Him. Let Him in and He will give you the desires of your heart.
For myself to be hurt, angry, or just on the verge of falling apart is one thing, but to see my best friend who I love is another. I came to the realization that we can be there for each other and we can hold one another when we cry. We can talk and encourage, build another up but only God can heal us. We need him in our lives. We need to put our faith in Him and give Him our all. God will calm the storms and produce a beautiful sunlight. We just need to believe and to never lose hope in His plan. Never lose hope in His strength, His might, His love, His mercy, and His love for us.
For those of you who are still crying out and starching for a life greater then your own. Come to God. Give Him your heart and your troubles. Sometimes life seems like its to much to handle, it is during those times that God will hold you and get you through the roller coaster. Trust in Him. Believe in Him. If you are searching for that way out of this life then search no further. God is always near, with open arms. He will give you a life worth living. God is the breath you are breathing so be the light He is shining.
God bless <3
Love,
Heaven April
