Key scripture – “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8).

We always need to remember that the Word of God is our spiritual first aid kit, when we feel like we are at the end of our rope or when we feel like we can’t go on, and we are tired, and we don’t see an end in sight to our problem.

Instead of fretting, worrying, complaining, and freaking out, we need to stand up, stand firm, and proclaim the Word of God. Say out loud everything that is written below and keep saying it every time you start to worry or doubt, even if you don’t feel like doing it. If you do this, you will find yourself rejoicing and praising God, even in the middle of your storm.

In case of emergency, break the glass and read below.

“Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me.

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

You are honored, and I love you.” (Isaiah 44:1-4).

6. God is my confidence. He is teaching me things. God will restore what the locust have eaten.

“The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you. Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the Lord your God, who does these miracles for you. Never again will my people be disgraced.” (Joel 2:25-26).

7. God is my sufficiency. I am strong in the Lord.

8. God is my vindication. He will avenge, justify, defend and uphold me.

“But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.” (Isaiah 50:7-9).

Pray this – Our Precious Heavenly Father, even though my life is hard right now and my circumstances are not good, I will not focus on the wind and the waves or my feelings or emotions, instead I will focus on Your Word, I will rejoice in The Lord and praise You. Father, I want to have unwavering faith and to stand firm. I need the Holy Spirit to strengthen me so that I keep walking by faith and not by sight. “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.” (Isaiah 26:3-4). Father, I trust in You and on Jesus, the solid rock, I stand. Keep me in perfect peace, quiet me by Your love, and rejoice over me with gladness and with loud singing. In the Name of Jesus, the Everlasting Rock, I pray. Amen.
