When it’s not easy to hear God’s Words

There are times in your life, when you go through difficult circumstances and you feel you’re alone. You cry out to God, you pray, but it seems that there is no answer. In those times what do you do???

When you feel everything is falling apart, remember you are safe in his arms.

Sometimes is hard to hear God’s voice, sometimes your circumstances are so overwhelming that you just feel you can’t take one more step, you can face one more day, and more than anything you just want to hear His voice … but you just can’t hear it.

When it seem your prayers never leaves your room, you wonder if God even knows your name, or hears your voice … in those moments you have to choose to trust God anyways.

I faced many heart crunching circumstances … when it seemed that I couldn't take one more step, one more day … and the truth is – on my own, I would of never made it, yet with God’s help I was able to stand … better said, he held me so  I didn't collapse.

I was having a heart to heart conversation with God lately. I know God is able, I know he spoke and the Universe was formed, I know he doesn’t change, I know and sincerely believe that he can change my circumstances, and your circumstances … it’s not about if he is capable or not … It’s about if he is willing or not.

When our life seems like is falling apart and is totally out of our control, we have to CHOOSE to trust God. We have to remember that he loves us; with a love we can’t understand or comprehend. NEVER question God’s love for you. Your circumstances are not the result of his love. We can NEVER assume that if God loves us, our lives should be problem free. If you ever doubt God love: REMEMBER THE CROSS! On the cross you can see God’s love for you. He gave His only son, to save you, because he loves you so much, that He can’t imagine eternity without you.

So when our situations are overwhelming, remember that he held you all the way until now, and he will do it again. Remember, that NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING can happen to you without his knowledge. God knows what you are facing now, He knows your pain, your heartbreak, your tears, your fears, your doubts, and he loves you.

God knows exactly where you are and what you are facing. He knows your giants, and he knows how to solve the problems. God loves you and he wants YOUR BEST. And your circumstances might suggest the opposite, but the truth is that NOBODY will ever love you more and care for you more then God.

It might seem unfair to go through the pain and troubles you go though now. It might seem that God doesn’t care. It might seem that He is unable to change your circumstances … in those moments, you must choose to believe what’s truth … you must choose to believe His words and not your circumstances.

In the last several years, I had been pressed from every side.  I faced many unbearable situations when it seems like God doesn’t care, that He is far or too busy helping others, yet  I made a choice to trust him even if it seems crazy.

1. I know God loves me and he loves you.
2. I know He is able and capable to suddenly step into any situation and change them.
3. I know He wants my best, and trust me He wants your best as well.

So then why all the pain around me and you? I wish I could have an answer, but I don’t. When things make so sense, I still choose to trust Him.

I told God: “I don’t understand the ways YOU work, I don’t understand why I can’t hear your voice, why I can’t see my prayers answered, I don’t know how long I can still hold on, but I KNOW without doubt, that you love me, and even thou I sometimes wonder if you really care about me, I CHOOSE to trust you, and I love you even if you don’t change my circumstances, even if it’s pain in my offering, I trust you God and I ask you don’t allow me to go through more then what you can handle … and when I can’t make it anymore, when the next step seems impossible, and my heart is crushed down, God please you carry me, strengthen me and hold me. On my own, I can’t do it anymore, so it’s your turn Lord. It’s you or nothing”.

I wish I could tell you that suddenly everything changes … but it doesn’t or at least not for me, not yet and yes, the days seem more and more challenging, one trouble after the other, yet I know, that He hold me in His hands … and I made a choice to trust him, and love him anyways … so I wait, because he promised that those who wait upon Him and trust in Him, will never put to shame.

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Psalm 37:7

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

And when it’s hard to wait, because to be honest, I have a hard time to wait, I have to remember Moses, and Joseph how long they waited, before God called them to new territories.

Things don’t happen to you, they happen IN you, while you go through the difficult challenges of this life. In the waiting times, God is transforming your from the inside out, to be ready for the next chapter he already prepared for you. Don’t ever give up on God, but please be really honest with him.

And remember, that sometimes when you go through difficulties, is not even about you, but maybe those around you. When Peter walked on the water … it was the rest of the disciples who proclaimed: “you really are the Son of God.” Mathew 14:33 you might go through fire (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) and storm (disciples), lion’s den (Daniel) and prison ( Joseph) and the list can go on … so that the King might proclaim, that there is only ONE God the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego ( Daniel 3:28-29), that the King might proclaim that there is only ONE God, the God of Daniel ( Daniel 6:26-27) or maybe some disciples may proclaim that “ Jesus you really are the Son of God”, or maybe God will provide for your loved ones and family, after you go through years of trouble, and prison … we really don’t understand God’s ways, we can’t … but we can CHOOSE to trust God!

Question: I don’t know what you are facing now, but you can share your situation or send us a prayer request. I am in the storm too, I know firsthand … I’m not sharing you all this after it all makes sense … because it just doesn’t for me either, and trust me, sometimes I cry so much to God, that I feel I don’t have tears … and with broken heart and pain, I CHOOSE to trust Him. Pray for me too.
