To my sister going through a tough time

On By EfuaIn encouragement, life

This was scheduled for tomorrow. But there might me someone who needs it today.

I was writing a different post for today when i got an inspiration for this post. I saw the lines ‘God is within her, she will not fail’ and i felt a heaviness to write this.

My friend, you might be asking a lot of questions right now.

How did i get her?

When will all of this stop?

Why is life so hard?

How am i going to look after my children alone?

Why am i still single?

Why am things so slow for me?

When is it going to be my turn?

Why aren’t i lucky like her?

When will i get my testimony to share?…

I understand that sometimes as believers we unknowingly get into this zone where we act/pretend as though none of our challenges affects us. But behind closed doors we ask the above questions.

If you are going through any kind of challenge presently, i pray this post encourages you. I pray you are strengthened as you meditate on this line today. Although this bible verse was referring to Jerusalem, i do believe we can be encouraged by it.

God is within her, she will not fall; Psalm 46:5a

I want you to personalise the sentence. ‘God is within me, i will not fail.’

No matter what you are going through, remember that God is within you. No matter how dark the storm may be, you will land safely.

To the single mum raising kids, you will not fail.

To the lady who is scared of the future, you will not fail.

To the one who desires marriage but hasn’t been on a date for years, you will not fail.

To the one still trusting God for a child, you will not fail.

To the one at the verge of loosing her home, you will fail.

To the one going through emotional stress, you will not fail.

Hey you that is thinking of throwing in the towel, God is within you.

God is within you. The King of Kings. The One who is greater than anything you could ever imagine, lives in the inside of you. He is there to help you in every step of the way. To guard, to direct, to convict, to encourage, to rebuke, to repair, to counsel, to enrich, to equip, to admonish, to bring you to your perfect end. God will help you my sister. YOU WILL NOT FAIL. Keep going. Keep moving. I am praying for you.

  1. Sorry if this seems pedantic of me, but just to clarify, not failing spiritually doesn’t mean to say we’ll have no troubles and always get what we want. But God will richly supply all our needs in Christ Jesus. Sorry to put a dampener on an encouraging post. Bless you sister 🙂

  5. Praise the LORD Sister, the timing of your post couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. God is with us. No matter what, no matter where. He never sleeps. He is never on vacation. He will not send us to voicemail or ignore our calls. He has shown me this more in the past 48 hours than I ever remember in my entire life.

    Thank you for this. Just over a year after I have turned to Jesus, tomorrow I will get baptised.
    A year into my walk and I realise more than ever that I am weak and a sinner and I desperately need Jesus!
    Jesus will give us all that we need! We need never thirst again!

    But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    John 4:14

    Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
    1 John 4:4

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
    2 Peter 3:9

    What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
    He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
    Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
    Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
    Romans 8:31-34

      1. I am doing okay. This blog post resonated with me. I had been asking some of those questions and was left battling discouragement. I thought about this statement today “God is within me I cannot fail.” The scripture also tells us we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus–that’s good news!

        How are you doing woman of God?

      2. Amen sis! Glad it resonated with you. I can relate to how you were feeling. And those words really helped me pick myself up. God’s got us always!

        I am fine but feeling little bit under pressure because I have a lot going on at the moment. I have only been able to scan through on here. Everything should die down in about a months time and I will be alright. Thanks for asking. I haven’t come across your post in a while. Looking forward to reading something from you

      6. Hey sis! I’m unable to open your post. It’s saying a server with the host name cannot be found. You might want to look into this as otherwise it will be difficult for people to see and read your posts

      7. hmm, okay I googled the issue when you brought this to my attention before and I followed the steps to rectify it. I’m not sure why it’s not working but I will look into it…Thank you! I apologize about that.
