"Jaebets invoked the God of Israel, saying, If you bless me and extend my limits, if your hand is with me, and you keep me from misfortune, so that I am not in suffering. ... And God granted what he had asked." 1 Chronicles 4.10

Jaebets asked God to remove misfortune so as not to remain in suffering.

The Bible says : "Misfortune often affects the just, but the Lord always delivers it." Psalms 34.20

Start looking at the future from God's point of view ...

Jesus also said : "In the world you will have to suffer many afflictions. But courage ! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

He said : "I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever. I will not leave you orphans, but I will come to you." John 14: 16-18

Your life has not been free from suffering, sorrow, pain and tears, but I would like to tell you today that you are not alone. By the Holy Spirit, who is the divine Comforter, Jesus stands close to you.

Perhaps you are in great pain right now ? God wants to heal your broken heart, to console you, so that you do not remain in suffering. Start looking at the future from God's point of view ... Your situation may change, your relationships may change, your children may change, your marriage may change, your finances may change, your health may change.

God has the power to change everything. He is the Almighty !

See with me how the story of Jaebets ends : "And God granted what he had asked !"

God is with you. He is at your side and everything is possible for him. This is the encouragement I want to leave you today.

A prayer for today

My God, thank you because in my suffering you are with me and you are very close to me. I believe the best is in front of me and that everything can change. I trust in you, O Lord, and ask you, as your promise promises, to deliver me from misfortune (Psalm 34:19). Amen.
