God's Promises - Encouragement



Encouragement


Living in this world, there is stress.  Many situations and circumstances occur during our lifetime; health, loss, financial woes, relationships, work environment, that can leave us feeling frustrated, angry, or sad.  


​God did not promise us that this road would be easy, He promised us that He will be with us during these times of trouble.  God will bless us with others to help and encourage us when these valleys are entered.


Depression is prevalent and Christians are not immune. The world brings us challenges each day and God is right there ready to help us fight if we just trust and obey. He is there to help us through the dark times and encourage us on our way. He gave us beautiful scriptures to hold on to in times of anxiety and if we hold on to His promises we will be encouraged to go on one more day seeking His peace for our life.
