Finding God - How We Got Through and Survived The Storm

By Scott Corson


Like a number of American men and women who fell victim to the very bad recession within these last few years, my wife and I ended up being faced with the problem of "Simply what exactly will we do now in order to make ends meet"? Our most dreadful fear had become reality, and suddenly we lost almost everything. However in looking back what got us through such challenging times ended up being concentrating and resting on the particular love of Jesus. Are you currently suffering through the same problem in your own life? Are you currently dwelling on where can I find God? Or possibly asking help me find God? It's not too difficult. Jesus is right there close to you awaiting you to bring Him into your life. You must take the first step. It truly is for you to decide.

Hence now what exactly do we do? In our hearts we realized down that every problem really is a setup for a come back. God is great and my wife and I recognized something very good would probably come from this at some point. The largest test for my family ended up being confronting the particular psychological and mental obstacle of getting through every single day. There were some positive days and some awful days, plenty of "in between" days. Your life is without having any joy. There was not any consistent daily peace and rest in our life. In looking back, something ended up being there without a doubt, the actual love of Jesus ended up being the actual only undeniable part of the process.

This has been a long experience to arrive here, nonetheless my wife and I have come to understand a great deal. We currently feel an intense hope to assist those who are troubled today. (for no matter what the particular reason) and actually tell them just just how simple it's once you just turn it ALL over to God-100% of it. You will have to extract comfort and strength through Him and His love for you. Are you pondering how great His love for you is, God crucified His Son for YOU. The human brain finds this practically incomprehensible doesn't it?. Overwhelming, to say the least.

We lived through a lot of suffering along this long and winding road. My wife and I gone through just about every sentiment you can possibly imagine from the pain and discomfort of depression, despair, isolation, hopelessness, failure, no self-esteem and on and on. It literally ended up being torture making it through each day. It ended up being only once we realized that until completely given over our very own life to Him, we would keep going down this unpleasant track. In lieu of consuming our very own effort and time wondering simply just what exactly the future holds, my wife and I began erasing all undesirable thoughts from our minds. We both knew this ended up being the only course of action to stop the insanity. The only method was to put our worries on the Lord.

You might be thinking what do I mean by "turning over 100% of our personal life to the Lord"? Let me tell you what exactly it does not mean. It does not mean you can't watch a movie or read the paper or enjoy glass of vino at dinner or even go to the movies. It's regarding your way of thinking and focus. It truly is about believing whole-heartedly the actual promises God makes to you personally. Isn't that exactly what faith truly is? Once you wish to reside in total peace and rest, then there is not any other course of action...and so we both went ALL IN. We both believed that Jesus would definitely bring us out significantly better off than before, that He really will never leave us nor forsake us. But you need to invite Him in to do so.

In the event things in your life are bad and you really are miserable, why don't you take the first step and turn over all your fears and fears to God. Make it a point anytime you begin experiencing something harmful, that you simply instead focus on the particular goodness of Jesus. Bring Him into your life. When you do this, you can begin changing your life and very good things will start happening to you.
