{Why Me?}

Have you ever had the feeling that you are always at the receiving end of bad things? Ever been so frustrated that you simply wanted to scream, “Why ME?” Maybe the problem is not that things are going bad but that they just don’t seem to be going right! You are not paranoid but sometimes you are quite sure that you can hear the devil speaking to you: “You are healed, are you? So, why are you still in so much pain? God should provide your needs but you can barely make ends meet! 

Let's not forget this verse....


Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 


If we are truly thinking about the reality of the "pain" and "tribulations" we go through in life... God has a plan for those tribulations, He knew you were going to go through the struggles you may be going through right now... But, isn't there always something or someone that has is much worse than we do?

*Count your blessings, name them one by one....*

I think the book of Job is such a picture of the average Christians life. We live our lives doing what we know is right and then because we are in the world, we are subject to the side effects of sin. Those being sickness, financial ruin, etc... Some of these things are out of our control - such as unexpected health issues. Most of the time, it just happens. But it is all in our attitude and how we choose to walk it out. 

{By faith or by fear...} 

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

By faith keeping focused that our Heavenly Father is leading us, even in the unknown areas... HE desires to lead us! Or by fear, allowing us to be paralyzed by or circumstances and not moving at all. The grand thing is, that in the "big picture" of life - It won't even matter when we get to Heaven what has happened here. That is when we will finally be in perfect health, no more financial worries and no more grief, pain or fear! It's all about enduring, just like Job did and hanging in there, even when it seems to be the end, there's always a happy ending when Jesus is involved. But, not just settling at enduring the hard times - striving to have that faith we should have & live out the testimony we should while here on this "sick" earth....

So, determine in your heart right now to live out your life in FAITH, with faith - everything - trusting in our Saviour & knowing He will provide and He desires for us to place our burdens on Him... 

Question is - are you walking with Him? Do you have that relationship to go to Christ and just pour out your heart, your desires, your needs? 

He already knows what they are....

But - we must be willing to have the relationship.

Don't be a "why me" ....
Be thankful, have faith & count your blessings ....

Psalm 55:22

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
