Looking up when life has you down

​2 Corinthians 4: 8-10 (NKJV)  “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;  persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” 

Paul is telling us that when the enemy has knocked us down it does not mean we are out of the race. God is near us at all times. With Him we are more than a conqueror (Romans 8: 31-39). God will never leave us nor forsake His children.
God delivered Paul out of many horrible circumstances, therefore Paul is expressing to us to hold on and don’t give up because God will rescue His children.  Therefore, whatever may have you beaten down; know that you are not out as long as God is on your side. God can use whatever He wants to reveal His glory.

Heavenly Father,
I thank You for all You have done for me during my trials, tribulations, and my good days. God, You are worthy to be praised. God, give me direction on whatever I may need direction on. Jesus, give me direction how to raise my child(ren) and whatever You have entrusted me with.  I need You to survive!
​
In Jesus Name,
Amen
