Difficult Times

Are you going through difficult times? Maybe your child is not responding like you thought he/she would to the curriculum you chose? Maybe your finances are limited due to the economic downturn? Maybe you are being harrassed for your decision to homeschool?

Turn to God for your strength. Today ask Him to become real to you. Start every day saying a prayer in your heart or out loud. Try to keep the conversation going with Him throughout the day as you struggle with your child through math, or as you discuss the bills to be paid with your spouse, or as you listen to the hurtful words of someone who doesn't understand. Ask for His peace, ask for His thoughts, and look for His ways. His Word says that if we seek Him, we will find Him (Matt. 7:7-8), and I stand on that promise for you and for me!

Don't believe the lie that God has given up on you or that you have given up on God. Your circumstances may not look like everyone else thinks that it should look, but rest on the promise that He is there.
