Times of Difficulty ask for Help and Strength to Endure! The End is not yet!

~ ?

Prayer to Jehovah is Essential.... Like Micah, we have to live among selfish people. Many are “unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection.” (2 Tim. 3:2, 3) 

We find it distressing when workmates, schoolmates, and neighbors show a self-centered attitude. Some of God’s servants, though, have an even greater challenge. 

Jesus said that his followers would face family opposition, and he used words similar to those recorded at Micah 7:6 to describe the impact that his message would have. “I came to cause division,” said Jesus, “with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a young wife against her mother-in-law. Indeed, a man’s enemies will be persons of his own household.” (Matt. 10:35, 36) 

What a difficult thing it is to endure the ridicule and opposition of family members who do not share our faith! 

If we face such a trial, let us not cave in to family pressure. Instead, may we remain loyal and wait patiently for Jehovah to resolve matters. 

If we constantly ask for his help, he will give us the strength and wisdom needed in order to endure. - Bible Speaks

It is better to pray for endurance than strength ... otherwise you may wind up needing a shovel and a flashlight.
