Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near! Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.  Philippians 4:4-6 NET

Friends, He is our Strength. It is vital to keep our Joy alive, especially when we are in the throes of adversity. Whenever we are struggling with difficulties, we need to guard our thoughts and spoken words carefully. If we focus too much on all the things that are wrong, we will become increasingly discouraged—and our strength will be sapped. 

As soon as you realize what is happening, stop this hurtful process immediately. Holy Spirit is waiting, He offers us His peace offering “Turn to Me, asking Me to help you with all your struggles”. 

It is bewildering and awe inspiring to know that God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit is at our side, protecting, loving, listening.
