Stay Strong

MASTER PLAN

WHEN YOU LOOK ALL AROUND
AND YOUR TROUBLES SEEM TO ABOUND
DON’T WORRY OR DESPAIR
GOD REALLY DOES CARE.
SO REMEMBER NOT TO FRET
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS BET
YOU ARE SAFE IN GOD’S HAND
BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU AND HAS A MASTER PLAN.
SO DON’T LET FEAR AND DESPERATION CONTROL YOU
JUST GIVE IT TO GOD AND HE WILL HELP YOU THROUGH.
GOD LOVES YOU AND HE UNDERSTANDS.
THAT’S WHY HE HAS A MASTER PLAN.
SO REST ASSURE THE STORMS WILL BE OVER
AND WITH GOD’S LOVE WE WILL BE COVERED.
WHEN WE HAVE THE LORD IN OUR HEARTS
THEN GOD WILL NEVER LET US PART
WE WILL ALWAYS BE SAFE IN HIS MASTER PLAN!

I know that the news has been scary and so many people are struggling. It can be hard to focus on anything but what is bad. Let us try to focus on the hope that we have in God. God loves us and all we need to do is pray, reach out to Him and grasp on to the hope and assurance we have in God.  We just need to remember God loves us and has a plan. We don't always understand it but we can trust it.
Jer. 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord , and whose hope the Lord is.
Jeremiah 17:7 KJV

God tells us over and over in his word to not be afraid but to be courageous.
Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord . KJV

Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. KJV

God also tells us to ask in prayer and believe.

1 Thes. 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
 NIV

Matt 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
NIV

 You can choose  to be fearful, unhappy and restless or you can trust in God, pray and have peace and assurance.

2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
KJV

Phil 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. KJV


We can get through this time and remember  God loves us and will give us strength, peace and comfort just call on Him.

STAY STRONG, PRAY AND TRUST.
