In anguish or in joy, we believe that God will always be with us.

God is the most precious thing we have in this world and simply remembering that He is with us every day and should be a reason for great spiritual rejoicing.

Matthew 28:20 ... And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

The apostle Paul said:

Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

A life with God is synonymous with a life with PEACE AND VICTORY and knowing how to live with God is synonymous with WISDOM and will generate the pure power of the Holy Spirit over your life.

When Paul said:

Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

In fact, Paul was demonstrating his faith, knowing that in difficulty or in abundance, God's purposes would always be fulfilled in his life and that there would never be any difficulty time or situation that he could not handle.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

So, YOU CANNOT GIVE UP, face your afflictions with faith, because rest and God's providences will always be by your side.

Say to yourself:

I KNOW THAT I CAN ENDURE ALL AFFLICTIONS, BECAUSE GOD IS WITH ME.

Believe that after the fight comes victory and that after winning you will realize that your faith, your contact and your communion with God have been increased.

Nothing in this world can go against the Word of God, so GO AHEAD and say: I CAN DO ALL THIS THROUGH HIM WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
