Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted with the struggles of life?⁣⁣
Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Jesus is willing to help.

Jesus can help you overcome the challenges and provide peace and comfort.

#Trust In Jesus and let Him be your source of strength during difficult times. ⁣⁣Jesus can guide you to what YOU are looking for if it’s God’s will for you to have it!

Jesus’s help can give you strength and courage to face any challenge. Let Jesus bring #hope, healing and renewed joy into your life. The trials of life don’t have to get the best of you! Jesus can help!

If it feel like the trials in your life are testing your faith, Jesus understands, Jesus cares and Jesus wants to help you!

I can relate to problems being overwhelming. Sometimes trials of sufferings include our marriage, friendships, relatives, jobs, finances, children, or our health. Although having trials in our lives is unavoidable, there is good news that stems from our trials.

James shared these wise words with the 12 tribes in James 1:2-3 (CSB),

Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

James did not encourage the tribe to have joy simply because they had trials, but to have joy because the trials produce endurance—and when endurance was in full effect in their lives, they would be mature and complete (James 1:4).

As an athlete, I have learned the benefits of the strength that comes from endurance. When I endure a hard long-distance run or an intense strength-training session, I become stronger and more conditioned. When I reflect on the words of James that state that the testing of my faith produces endurance, I remember that this spiritual endurance helps me to become mature in the things of God.

There are times when we do not know how to navigate our trials, but Jesus wants to remind YOU to turn to God when YOU are overwhelmed and tired of your struggles!

God is faithful to provide wisdom when we need it. When we seem the most lost, God gives us direction. Whether the trials that test your faith are caused by the economy, disasters, broken relationships, heartbreak, or anything in between, God can give you the wisdom to navigate those trials. James 1:5 declares,

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God—who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly—and it will be given to him.

This promise in God’s Word that He will give wisdom to those of us who ask is always comforting to me. So often we need the wisdom that only God can give to navigate our trials. No matter the complexity or the uncertainty, we can count on God to give us the needed wisdom. Remember, when you begin to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, fed up, sick, broke, disgusted or just plain over it, you should take some time to pray. God can’t do nothing if you don’t pray nothing. Jesus learned early on in life that prayer was an essential part of His daily ritual. He never went into any situation before praying first! YOU should do the same. Pray first, not after you get into the difficulities or when you are stuck in them. Prayer will bring God into your circumstances so that YOU can be helped! Prayer will bring Jesus into your situation so He can show you the way!

Prayer:
Lord, I am facing many trials in my life right now and my faith is being tested. I ask that You help me to receive endurance and maturity during this time. I also ask for Your wisdom in the areas that I lack wisdom and direction. Jesus I ask that you show me the way, I need help Jesus, in your name I ask and pray Jesus’ amen.
