I think the words “I cannot do this anymore” must probably pop up in my head over a hundred times a day. This morning on my way to work I thought if I could just have one more miracle or just hope that my circumstances will change and that I will rise up out of this pit I find myself in.
Paul writes in Colossians 1 that God delivered us from the powers
of darkness and “translated” us into the kingdom of His son Jesus Christ. I
love the word “translated” in this verse. Now the only reason I find myself in despair
is because the forces of darkness is moving in for the kill. You see they start
with words from someone close to you like “You are a disappointment” or “You
are a failure” and then they use this to populate your mind with more junk that
will push you to the end.
It is in these low moments that God reminds us that He “translated”
us into His kingdom. Translated referrers to transferred. God through Jesus transferred
you from the place of darkness to a place of light. The reason we get caught in
this pit is purely because we forget that the enemy does not control our lives,
nor do they own our lives and they definitely do not define who we are.
Jesus is the only way and He said that we will face troubled
times and we will surely go through hardships and challenges. We just need to stop
listening to the enemy and remove those negative words from your mind.
We need to realign ourselves with Jesus and His words. Jesus
said that God will hear our prayers and, in the Bible, the phares “Fear not” is
written 365 times. That is once for every day of the year. So, stop fearing and
start believing. We live by faith and not by sight, so let is live with that
faith and trust God.
My prayer for you is that God will hear your prayer today
and that He will change your circumstances and lift you out of the mud and mire
where you are stuck now. I pray that God will bless everything you do and that
you will break free through His amazing grace and stand up again.
Have a great day.
