We are living in an unprecedented time. The country we live in is evolving quickly and negatively. Lord, help us all. Life can be challenging, but as long as we keep our lives aligned with the principles of God, we will overcome. Know that “You Are Tougher!” than anything that comes your way. Sometimes it may be hard to believe that, but it is true. Pressures of life can and will affect our relationships and our very being if we allow them to do so. Therefore, we must realize the strength that lies within us.

Additionally, we must more than ever rely on the God we serve. We build our faith upon the righteousness of God. Hence, as prices of everything go upward, especially food and jobs lost due to this new administration, we have to trust God more than ever. It’s time for the people of God to take a stand. How do we make a stand? We begin through prayer and fasting. When you do that, you know without a shadow of a doubt, “You Are Tougher!” than any situation or storm that comes forth.

Let nothing separate you from a wholesome relationship with God and others. Undoubtedly, hardships that affect our livelihood can cause problems in our relationships. Also, the weakening of our faith, unfortunately, could occur. Hold on, everyone; times are tough, but God is omnipotent. Let’s unite in prayer and thanksgiving and watch God work. Yes, hardships are sure to come because we are living in turbulent times unlike ever before. Don’t bow, don’t bend, don’t fret! “You Are Tougher!” than you know! But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Psalm 115:3.I”ll return next week with a new post, “Insist On It!”

Be encouraged, and God bless!
