Grenance tesha NEVER LOOSE HOPE GOD IS ON OUR SIDE Sometime in this life we wonder what is happening to our lives, we face many problems to the point that we find no solutions. There let’s not lose hope because one infinity, mighty of all ever existing God is on our side. Once there was a little boy who was born in very happy and loving family. He was raised and treated well. He had everything he ever needed as a child. On his fourth birthday he was given a kangaroo toy by his father as a gift, he loved that kangaroo and was going nowhere without it. He became six two years later and was supposed to go to school, so he had to leave the kangaroo toy at home, it was really painful for him to leave the kangaroo toy. But his father was there to mourn with him, he had a shoulder to cry on, someone to encourage him, he was growing up and sometimes growing up is a painful experience. Just like the little boy we are growing up every day in our journey of faith, it is painful but this is what God says to us  “Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41; 10 “And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. ”Deuteronomy 31; 8 Often we face many trials such as financial perplexity, social problems, losing the loved ones, failing what we planned and feel miserable after wronged our friends and family.  Sometimes all of these facts confront us at the same time. We don’t find solutions, therefore we lose hope of getting out of that misery, we see no reason to live anymore. As the disciples of Jesus were terrified, devastated, worrying with ultimate fear because they thought that due to waves they were going to die. On top of their fear for death something happened to multiply their fear “And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, it is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.  ”Mathew 14:25. That what happens to us all, fear multiply especially when we are far from God because that the only time when Satan has access to us, to tempt us and make sure that we fall to his trap. Human experience could not help in trial (peter, Andrew the brother of peter, john and Jacob the experienced fishermen could not control the boat.) but faith “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrew 11:1. When Jesus arrived everything changes and His introduction reflect His power,” it is I; be not afraid.  ”. Wondering who calls HIMSELF I? Why? Exodus 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.  ”. God presence was made clear to disciple as it is made clear to me and you today. What he was, he is saying is it is I creator I who made a barren woman conceive after menopause I who cured incurable I who made impassable red sea passable I who raised the dead (Lazarus) I who go against science law And today HE says to you I one and only who paid the debt of all sinner, one and only savior of the world. Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.  ” And today HE says to you I who will protect u in anything because “For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.  ”psalm 48:14, “What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?  ” romans 8:31       Keep your wants, your joys, your sorrows, your cares, and your fears before God. You cannot burden Him; you cannot weary Him. He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children. "The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy." James 5:11. His heart of love is touched by our sorrows and even by our utterances of them. Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds, He rules over all the affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice. There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel. No calamity can befall the least of His children, no anxiety harass the soul, no joy cheer, no sincere prayer escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest. "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:3. The relations between God and each soul is as distinct and full as though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His watch care, not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son.  {SC 100.1}      Jesus said, "Ye shall ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loves you." "I have chosen you: . . . that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you." John 16:26, 27; 15:16. But to pray in the name of Jesus is something more than a mere mention of that name at the beginning and the ending of a prayer. It is to pray in the mind and spirit of Jesus, while we believe His promises, rely upon His grace, and work His works.  {SC 100.2}(Steps to Christ, pg. 100-101) Whatever you are going through right now just never lose hope, rely in His promises and have faith because He never promised a smooth road but a safe arrival also once martin Luther king said “we must accept finite disappointment but we must never loose infinite hope” so believe God is with you to help and comfort you just give HIM a chance. “Written to give hope for those who have lost hope”
